About Kick Advanced Player
Kick Advanced Player replaces the default Kick.com video player with a lightweight, low-latency HLS player focused on speed and control.
FEATURES
• Low latency streaming — pick your own latency target (Ultra low ~1.5s, Low ~2.5s, Normal ~5s, Smooth ~10s). The player gently speeds up playback to catch back up to the live edge instead of stalling or hard-seeking.
• Smooth live scrubber — a seek bar that glides instead of jumping, with drag-to-seek, buffered indicator, and a hover tooltip showing how far behind live you'll land. Rewind the stream, then snap back with one click on LIVE.
• Theater mode — the video expands over the whole page next to chat, just like you'd expect. Press T to toggle, Esc to exit.
• Picture-in-picture — pop the stream out into a floating window with one click or the P key.
• Manual quality selection — lock the stream to a specific resolution or leave it on Auto.
• Stats for nerds — live latency, buffer, bitrate, bandwidth estimate, playback speed, and dropped frames.
• Keyboard shortcuts — Space/K play-pause, M mute, F fullscreen, T theater, P picture-in-picture, L jump to live, arrow keys to seek and change volume.
• Remembers your settings — volume, quality, and latency preset persist between streams.
No account, no tracking, no external servers. The extension only runs on kick.com and talks directly to Kick's own stream servers.
