What is SmartPlay - for Safari Browser?

SmartPlay is a Safari Web Extension that gives you extra control and functions (e.g., Video Effects, Playback Speed, Custom Subtitles, Auto-Skip Intros, IMDB Ratings, etc.) when you're watching video streams on popular websites.

For iPhone, it supports YouTube, Twitch, iQIYI, etc. For iPad, it supports Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Twitch, iQIYI, etc. It's easy to use and doesn't track you or collect any personal information. Just play your favorite movie, TV show, or video, and a new control panel will appear on top of the Safari player!

Safari Web Extension was first introduced at WWDC 2021 June. This is the first Safari Web Extension that gives you complete control over your online video streams.

-- KEY FEATURES --

  • Shows the IMDB Rating and Votes for each movie or TV show (Netflix on iPad only).
  • Access Netflix's Hidden Categories and Search for Categories (Netflix on iPad only).
  • Adjust video brightness, saturation, contrast, and grayscale. Get a live preview of changes.
  • Control Playback Speed (from 0.01x slower to 5x faster). When watching a slow movie, you can speed it up; if you're learning a new language using Netflix, you can watch the video in slow motion.
  • Quick Rewind (60 seconds).
  • Auto-Skip Intros and Recaps. No need to press the Skip button each time (Netflix on iPad only).
  • Add Multiple Custom Subtitles (in SRT or VTT format) to your video stream. Supports any language. Customize the subtitle position, color, size, background color, background opacity, time offset, font family, and font encoding.
  • Zoom in and out of the video.
  • Change video position.
  • Show Detailed Information about the Video Stream (Netflix on iPad only). Includes detailed video, audio, and network information (e.g., Resolution, Frame Rate, Bitrate, Codec, HDR Support, Current CDN, Throughput, Movie ID, etc.).

-- HOW TO SETUP --

Please open the app and click the button on the welcome screen. This will take you to the Settings screen. Then tap Safari (for iPad, check left pane) > Extensions > SmartPlay, then tap the switch to turn it on.

On the same screen, tap All Websites > Allow to grant permission to run SmartPlay's extension on Safari on all websites. Now you're all set! You should see SmartPlay's overlay menu when you're watching a video on Safari.

Note: You can tap the "Manage Extensions" icon in your Safari address bar to access the SmartPlay settings.

Note: On iPhone, you can't access the overlay menu when your video is being played in full-screen mode.
