Clean risk

This extension sends detected page video and audio sources to the VLC media player.

It detects media sources on the current page and shows the number found in the toolbar badge. You can click the toolbar button or use context menu items on media elements to open detected audio or video in VLC, and you can copy detected sources to the clipboard from the toolbar context menu. It requires a native client on Windows, Linux, or macOS to communicate with VLC.
