playVideoOnDreambox Firefox extension
*************************************

Firefox__ browser addon (extension) that adds a "Play on Dreambox" button to the
toolbar.
Pressing it plays the video of the current tab on your Dreambox__ satellite
receiver.

Works fine with a Dreambox `DM7080 HD`__.

You can also right-click a link to a video page and select
"Play linked video on Dreambox".
That way you don't even need to open video detail pages.

Dependencies
============
You need to have the playVideoOnDreamboxProxy software running in your
network.
It will do the heavy lifting of extracting the video URL from the website
and sending it to the dreambox.

This browser extension only sends the current tab URL to this proxy service.

In the extension settings, configure the proxy URL (it ends with ``play.php``).
