To return to the original video page after watching the video with omxplayerGUI, click the “Go Back” button. I know that some people would prefer to stay on the original video page instead (and in fact there is a method that does it), but there are a lot of advantages using this method: the browser will stop buffering and playing the video inside the browser window and all the Javascript crap running in the background and eating resources will be stopped. In the URL field enter the following (one line): As title use something like “Play Video” or “omxplayerGUI” or whatever you like. In Midori you have to enable “Show in toolbar” in the “Add Bookmark” form.Ī new Bookmark requires a title and an URL. In Firefox and Chromium this is in the “Bookmarks Toolbar” section. You have to add a bookmark which should appear as a button in the browser toolbar. If you have already installed the kweb suite, update to the latest version (using the button on kweb's menu page). You also need a full installation of youtube-dl, but this will be installed during the installation of the kweb suite.

You have to install the kweb suite (either for Jessie or Stretch) which includes omxplayerGUI and all the other bits and pieces we'll need for this. Whenever you are not happy with web video performance within your browser, you just click a (newly created) bookmark button in your browser toolbar and a few (2 - 3 on a RPi 3) seconds later an omxplayerGUI video window will open and play the video in high quality without any lagging and using very low resources. It will work on both Raspbian Jessie and Stretch. I've successfully tested it with Firefox, Chromium and Midori. This new method is very simple and will work in almost any browser.

Note: There are already a number of threads about this topic, but special to certain browser or describing methods which require additional software or plugins etc.
