Instant Video Gallery Chrome Extension

This extension detects videos on the current page and creates a gallery overlay for quick viewing.

This extension was called "quick show videos" but has now changed to "instant video gallery" to make it more obvious as to what the extension is for.

This extension comes from an idea I had where I will often follow a link because it promised me a video but upon hitting a webpage the video is not immediately visible.

Thats annoying.

So I decided to write an extension for Chrome that gets the videos on the page and can then display a gallery style overview of just the videos.

The added benefit is that if there are links to videos too, it will display them in the gallery so you dont have to leave the page youre on to watch reference videos!

We currently support youtube, Vimeo and inline videos (added via the html5 video tag) but will be updating regularly to add other videos to the gallery.

Theres a quick command of Ctrl (Command) + Shift + V to show and hide the gallery if one or more videos is detected on the current web page.

This is currently experimental as object tags can vary.

If you have any issues please leave me some feedback.

Also, this update fixes an issue with actual videos, rather than just embedded videos.

They werent showing before but were playing in the background.
