Allow the browser to play HLS (m3u8) or MPEG-Dash (mpd) video urls 'natively'

Allows HLS and MPEG-DASH native playback in a browser. Click on any m3u8 or mpd link inside a browser to play it directly in a new tab. By default, the browser downloads any m3u8 and mpd files that were requested. This plugin checks any links to see if they match. If that's the case, it opens a new tab on a video player that uses the hls.js and dashjs library. Report any issues to https://github.com/Palethorn/nas-extension/issues
