SuperPlex Web Browser Extension

Dates

November 2017 – May 2018

Technology

JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, WebExtension API, C#, JSON

App

Current on hold, but a preview will be posted later, once development resumes.

Info

This web browser extension (currently for Firefox 56+) included a series of enhancements to Plex media server. Its primary purpose was to be able to play media files on a local PC, using the default media player for that file type, via a Native Application (written in C#) which the Web Extension would communicate with using Native Messaging.

It would show additional data that Plex stored about media files. This would include ratings for media from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and other sources, if Plex didn’t already show them.

Images

I’ve only included an image of the options screen, as this Web Extention is currently not compatibility with the most recent version of Firefox.
