HBO Max Extended: tools to fix HBO

FYI you have a typo in the main popup - it says "Everythig seems OK." and not "Everything" Besides that, easy fix, 5 stars

Thanks for your review, we need to change this :D EDIT: Hello, fix is already available in chrome web store! Thanks again for your support :)

Kind of hit or miss. For some reason, when this extension is activated, every key press is read twice by Max, so if you click left to back 10 seconds, it goes back 20 seconds, the same for forward. And I cannot get it into full screen by using the "F" key because it instantly returns back to minimized because it's like pressing it twice. The extension looks promising; just needs the kinks worked out.

thanks for the quick update to make this tool work again with the updated Max website!

Hi Fredrick! Thanks for your 5-star review, we are so happy that extension works well on your device

When using this, I can't control my volume. It automatically goes to 100%, even if I mute it or lower it. Also, since the migration to Max.com, it's not working at all.

Nice to have credit skipping in HBOMax, but have to drop on star since changing the speed of the video playback does not properly work on either of my two computers. Works fine on the Netflix and Hulu extensions, but with this extension the video, audio and subtitles get decoupled and the video jerks around. Works a bit better when using the offered speed rates (like 1.75x), but gets really bad when using the slider to set the speed to my preferred speed of 2x. Using Chrome v110.0.5481.178.

Hi Kristofer! Thank you for your feedback on our HBO Max extension. We are aware of the issue and our team is actively working to resolve it. In the meantime, you can try adjusting the timestamp of the video you're watching. This may help with the audio/video synchronization. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve our extension! :)

Intro skipping now working :(

Hi Adrian, thanks for your review, could you please provide more information about issue that you are facing with?

You cannot change the resolution. Everything offered by this extension can be changed in HBO Max settings.

Hi! thanks for your comment, we are working to fix it... :)

Useless. No quality settings

BestChrome ExtensionsDeveloperFeb 2, 2023

No there isn't. But anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Useless, there is no option to enforce quality.

BestChrome ExtensionsDeveloperDec 9, 2022

No there isn't. But anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Please, add an option to change audio quality to 5.1 and 7.1 surround. There is not a way to watch HBO Max with surround sound on a computer yet. Many thanks!
