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?)

It does exactly what it says and I am very happy.

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.
