This video player is a PWA that allows you to watch local videos in your browser. It supports the following features:
- Light/dark theme (following system preferences)
- Continue watching from where you left off1
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Global Media Controls integration
- Register as a handler for video files
To open a video, drag and drop it onto the app or click on the Choose file button.
If another video is opened, its state will be saved and the dragged video will replace the current one.
Alternatively, install the PWA, right click on the video you want to open, select Open With and choose this app.
You can also register this app as the default handler for video files by right clicking on a video file, selecting Get Info, scrolling down to Open with, selecting this app and clicking on Change All....
Note: In order for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) to work, Chrome must be opened (launching only this PWA won't work). I guess it's a bug in Chrome..
