Basically, a single long media file is split into different segments and when a segment is done being played, another segment is fetched from the server. Nowadays most websites offer media playing in segments. When a streamable media is detected, you will get an increment on the toolbar badge number of the current page. Pauses the internal player when stream is sent to the external player.Easy integration to the external media player.Also, it can record DASH-type media and successfully send them to the external player while others can't. Basically, there is no need for a persistent background script on this add-on and hence it does not consume any memory nor CPU while it is inactive.
This extension is very lightweight compared to the other similar extensions. This way you can take advantage of your external player's power and lightness. Upon sending the streams, the current browser player goes to the pause state (if any player element is detected) and media will be played in the external music player application. "Send to an External Media Player" tracks all the possible streamable media sources in your browser tabs and offers to send them to the VLC, MPlayer, or Media Player classic external music player.
