Richard Frost (ID: 00000064cdd3eab9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/14/2018 Works well, but doesn't currently support the beta player. Here is a fork done by John Taylor that does: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/media-key-support-for-bet/acijiokfkpnmbbbnhgikljmefiefepfn It looks like Tobias Thyssen has been MIA for a while, but John Taylor has a pull request in that adds support for the beta. Credit still goes to Tobias, but this really did help me out.

Travis Washburn (ID: 00000012edf7f123) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/19/2018 I love this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (P.S. Would it be hard to make it work with the new beta version of PocketCasts?)
