Note: For this extension to work, you will need to install a minimal native-client application. Instruction on how to install the native client will be displayed once context-menu item is clicked. You can also watch installation instruction in the YouTube tutorials inside the "Screenshots" section of this page.

1. The extension appends a context menu item when hovering over a media player (if stream can be detectable). To test open http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp in a browser tab and right click over the player

2. The toolbar icon becomes available when a page is supported. For instance if a full-page player is loaded, as of version 0.1.2, the toolbar button should appear. To test open http://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4 in a browser tab. You will notice the toolbar icon is now orange and clickable.
