In-browser streaming...

Hi Folks,

Is there anyway or any browser that lets you stream directly via a stand alone media player like VLC or MX Player?

I've just upgraded to a Oneplus 3 from an older trusty HTC M7 (great phone)... On the HTC I used the Dolphin browser which allowed an add-on called Jetpack, which, to cut a long story short, allowed for a much better in-browser streaming experience. You have the same functionality as you do in a stand alone player - you can can control brightness, volume and fast-forward / rewind - all by gestures.

I was :( to find out that Jetpack is not supported in Nougat, therefore all in-browser streaming is handled by that player's movie player... which is old school and just gives you a menu bar at the bottom where you can control the usual, sound, video scrolling and full screen.

Ideally it would be great if you could click on a video and open it in MX or VLC and set that as default... But so far I've drawn a blank...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
