Media key support for Pocket Casts Extension

Super simple and lightweight package that adds support for using your media keys to control Pocket Casts webapp from anywhere on your computer.

Features:
- Pause / play
- Skip forward 30 seconds
- Skip back 10 seconds

If you don't want the extension to hijack your mediakeys; Go to chrome://extensions. At the bottom there's a link called 'Keyboard shortcuts' where you can choose your own shortcuts for the extension.

Travis Washburn (ID: 00000012edf7f123) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/20/2018 I love this extension. It's the best! Or, at least, I saves a lot of frustration. I just started using it on a Pixelbook (Chrome OS), and it only works when I'm actually on the Pocketcasts tab. So that kind of removes a lot of its usefulness. Any ideas on why that might be? Thank you for listening!

Tim (ID: 0000007bdc1b001c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/06/2018 Life saver, thank you! I really missed using media keys, and I'm unsure how long it will be in beta.
