One Video Control to rule them all - redefining video interfaces

***** OVC - One Video Control lets you control all the videos you see while browsing - with your own control.*****

****** Why do I need it?! *******
It exposes new ways to interact with videos:
A "popout" button to extract the video from the browser and play it as a "stand alone", also known as 'picture in picture',
Scrolling up and down to increase / decrease speed or volume of the video (no more guessing if you want 1.25 or 1.75, just scroll up and down for faster and slower - with no limitation),
A button to toggle max speed on and off (very useful for fast forwarding advertisements when possible, or just to find that part in the video you are looking for),
Easy ways to go forward and backward, exposes a short skip and a long skip buttons (defaults to 5 and 30 seconds),
mute , repeat, and more to come!

********** V1.0.22*********
*bugfix* - (reported by a happy user) - in rutube.ru, when having OVC installed, the full screen of the site malfunctions -> fixed.

********** V1.0.21*********
*bugfix* - (reported by a happy user) - using favorite speed, then super speed, then favorite speed again - not working -> fixed.
*update permissions* - (requested by the chrome team): I asked for the "tabs" permission as I thought it was needed in order to open the setting / shortcuts pages of the extension, but it turned out I don't need this permission for that - so I am no longer requesting it.

********** V1.0.20*********
*New Feature* - (requested by a happy user) make it possible to remove OVC's tooltips
*New Feature* - (also requested by multiple users): "Where do I configure the keyboard shortcuts??" - finally easy access added.

********** V1.0.19*********
*New Feature* - Favorite Speed - easily set your favorite speed and toggle it on and off. See features videos at www.onevideocontrol.com

********** V1.0.18*********
*New Website(!) - You can now see the features videos in a dedicated website:
www.onevideocontrol.com

*New Feature* - You can now control the opacity of the controller so it will be as visible as you want it to be.

*Bug fix* - toggle super speed only worked once (could not be turned off unless scrolled or used the reset speed keyboard shortcut).

********** V1.0.17*********
*New Feature* - You can now select to start the control in "hidden" mode, great for the keyboard zen masters!

*New Feature* - You can now select to auto minimize the control after 5 seconds, great for those who forget to minimize and walk away :)

*New Feature* - Volume will be preserved on different videos **on the same site**, you can select to preserve the speed as well.

*New Feature* - OVC controller will now show when in full screen mode (it had some bugs)

*Minor bug fix* - when ctrl key is pressed, the OVC shortcuts will have no effect (finally when you copy paste something - the video will not skip forward).

c - short skip forward,

h - hide / show the control. when hidden you can still use the keyboard shortcuts to control the video.

****** Customizable ********
It is all customizable - the look and functionality of it, all the keyboard shortcuts can be replaced, it is ***YOUR*** control.
You can change the number of seconds that will pass when clicking the short and long skip buttons or using the keyboard shortcuts,
You can change the increase / decrease in the speed when scrolling on the speed area or when using the keyboard shortcut,

****** Themes *******
you can select between existing themes, or even CREATE YOUR OWN THEME!

************It Really Is One Control To Rule Them All!**************

This extension makes controlling the video you're watching so much easier. You can change the volume and speed with the mouse wheel, and also "pop out" the video while it's playing and stick it wherever you want!

Awesome extension but it doesn't have pause

Not had a chance to play with the app yet, but from what I've seen it looks great!
A couple of requests:
Every website with a video has the button in the top left, and clicking brings up the controls, but the volume always starts at 10. Is it possible to start at 5 so you can increase the volume, or go higher than 10? What about including a bass or volume booster like other apps up to 600%? Does not have to be 600%, but an option to increase the volume from the standard? Switching from my radio app to watch a video on a website in another tab, and the volume is low for that site. Any chance to up the volume for watching that video site, before returning to the radio app?
What about an option to save the volume and controls for websites to play across all tabs of the same site? Also when reopening the browser, the controls are saved and we do not have to play around with the controls again?
Many thanks for a great app!

Great Extension. Toggling favorite speed is a life hack. I use this on PC and android Kiwi app. But there are some suggestions.
(1) In youtube full screen, if I click the center of the panel to pause/play, the panel moves along the cursor as if I drag the panel. So I have to click the other part of the video instead of the panel. Please fix this.
(2) Please make an option that opens the panel automatically, and a keyboard shortcut that opens/closes the panel. I always open it by clicking the dot(control).
(3) It would be better if it provides subtitles(cc) button instead of "configre OVC" button. We can change the option elsewhere (address bar icon or chrome extension setting). Opening subtitles is bothersome especially on the phone, as there is no cc button in the youtube progress bar.

Amazing, works great and makes viewing videos much easier. If my browser were limited to one app it would be this... well, maybe my ad blocker would be first, but if the browser took two apps this would be the second.
