Streaming Support
Streaming support is now live with Chameleon 2.0.1! Twitch TV, YouTube HBO Go, TBS, TNT, ESPN, CNN, USA, Vudu, NBC, PBS, ABC, edX, TED and Coursera ** are all officially supported, although any streaming site that is not "Widevine based"* should function fine. Now, when opening the app, you will then be prompted with a window that allows you to choose a file/folder of video files or several streaming services along with a custom browser window to try others that are not yet officially supported.
About the Software
Chameleon Media Player is non-profit utility software that helps multitaskers reclaim their computer screen space and increase productivity. Windows and Mac users can play video files or stream with their favorite services fullscreen, transparently atop their desktop with full control of the apps beneath. Ideal for gaming on Steam while watching Twitch TV, or simultaneously binging your favorite movies and TV shows while you play. Chameleon Player loads video files (mkv, mov, mp4, avi) or one of several supported streaming sites, (YouTube, Twitch TV, HBO GO, ABC, NBC, TBS, TNT, ESPN and others*) and displays playback in a fullscreen window over your desktop. By making this window semi-opaque and controllably transparent, your desktop is visible and fully interactable beneath. Since Chameleon is a tray application, all mouse and keyboard events can be passed on to all background programs or Steam games on your computer while playing your favorite videos, youtube videos or streaming shows in the foreground. I created the software for myself initially and found it to be such a useful tool that I wanted to share it with others. It's completely changed the way I work -- I’ve fit an extra Coursera course into my monthly routine and was able to catch up on the latest season of Rick and Morty with little drop in my work productivity. I also play games on Steam (of course) and being able to watch Twitch and YouTube in the background while gaming is just awesome. I would often mute these games and listen to WNYC or other educational podcasts, but opening this up to videos as well changes everything. Give the free demo of Chameleon a try and see what I mean! All proceeds help our non-profit, Cinq-Mars Media, to continue its mission of educational research and technology. Originally devised as an educational tool to help busybodies aborb online classes while multitasking and practice learned concepts while watching lecutres, Chameleon can also function as an entertainment app. ** Cinq-Mars Media does not endorse or provide any of the aforementioned streaming services. These may require paid subscriptions and are not included in the purchase of Chameleon Video Player. * Widevine is a DRM plugin some popular streaming services like Netflix and Hulu use, and while Google offers a path for companies to license the plugin, repeated attempts to reach out have gone ignored. Certified letters, phone calls, emails, you name it, but rest assured we haven't given up as all the code is already baked in, awaiting certification from Widevine.Поддерживаемые языки: english

doesn't work for most things.
disappointing . . .
Looks good at first but lacks:
video codec support
subtitles support
common playlist files support
Ideal for watching youtube or movies while doing some boring stuff at the same time.
I was imagining sort of software which provide to watch something during coding. And I realised that someone already imagined it and made it real. I really like this software.

Doesn't work on Windows 7 64bit.
I've tried multiple shortcuts (CTRL+SHIFT+T, SHIFT+CTRL+T), the program doesn't work after you select the video or service you want to stream.
There's no manual, only an useless webpage with a single (and wrong) shortcut.
Even giving admin privileges to the application doesn't work.
A good idea, but badly executed.
I am a website developer by day and a gamer by night. I also travel a lot and have to use a one monitor setup on the road. Chameleon Video Player allows me to code websites while watching movies and news though my other applications. Very Cool! Anyone who likes to work or game while watching streaming TV, Twitch or local movies on a single monitor should get this!
