About GitHub Video Player

Plays GitHub release asset videos inline — no more downloading .mp4 files just to watch a demo. GitHub only renders inline video for files uploaded through drag-and-drop. If you link to a release asset video (.mp4, .webm, .mov) in a PR or issue comment, it shows as a plain text link that downloads when clicked. This extension detects release asset video links in GitHub comments and replaces them with native video players. Bare URLs on their own line become embedded players. Video links within text get a play button that expands a player.
