Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Use the following keys to pause, rewind the video forward and backward, even when the youtube.com window / tab is not active.

Play/Pause ⏯ - works like Space-key.

Previous ⏮- works like LeftArrow-key (backward 5 seconds), long press switches to the previous video.

Next ⏭ - works like RightArrow-key (forward 5 seconds), long press switches to the next video.

Be careful, the extension takes some time to load when the page loads.

Tested with Windows 10 only.

Disappointed. When I press pause, the video plays at double speed, and the "Next" and "Previous" buttons only skip 10 seconds instead of moving between videos. On the positive side, it finally syncs with the Windows media flyout.

play / pause on mac doesn't work - just accelerates playback speed 2x. ff & rw keys do work. Shame about play pause issue

I copied script from this extension and pasted it to "Custom JavaScript for Websites 2" and did as Marius van Voorden said and it works like a charm

Workaround for the bug for people who are comfortable tinkering: - Find the extension folder in your chrome extensions on your hard drive - Edit "content.js", comment out the two lines that catch the play and pause event; we don't want the extension to meddle with those. It's these, just put two slashes in front of each: navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('play', function() {space(document)}); navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('pause', function() {space(document)}); - Save - Delete folder _metadata so chrome knows this is a modified extension, not a pure one - In chrome://extensions/, turn on developer mode - Click load unpacked extension - Navigate to the folder with the extension you modified, and select the "0.0.1_0" folder - Extension now works. Hopefully the dev just implements this fairly trivial fix instead!

MacOS. Seeking forward/backward works flawlessly, but after installing addon, play/pause is broken.
