This extension adds basic gamepad support to the Plex.tv Web interface!

FEATURES OF CURRENT RELEASE:

Support for various popular controllers (only 360 controller has been tested)
Scroll through episodes when in single episode view
Play, pause, stop, rewind and go full screen with your gamepad (See screenshot for controls).

Note: If the controller doesn't work at first, try Refreshing your browser or pressing the A/X button on your controller.

This extension doesn't support general browsing of the Plex interface using a controller. This might happen in future, but the main purpose is so that you can browse to your media, blow it up on screen then sit back! You can use something like Plex Home Theater if you want complete remote control support.

PERMISSIONS: Inject gamepad support into any web page that is found to be Plex Web.
