  Player Assistant is an auxiliary tool for video watching.
  
  Because not every video player provides the same keyboard shortcuts, the goal of Player Assistant is to integrate common shortcuts of these players, make every video player can have the same integrated features, and give users a better viewing experience.
  
  Features:
  * Support multiple keyboard shortcuts for video watching
  * Adjustable time/speed/volume offset!
  
  Support shortcuts for:
  * Rewind/Fast Forward
  * Decreasing/Increasing playback speed or volume
  * Toggling fullscreen, mute, play/pause on every video player
  * Skipping to beginning/end/0% - 90% of video
  * Playing next episode for Netflix
  * Toggling caption between 'Traditional Chinese' and 'English' for Netflix
