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

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.

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?)
