An extension that gives you precise control of Chrome's native media player.
The Chrome browser includes native support for several media formats, such as mp3 audio and webm video. This is very useful as it allows for streaming of audio and video in the browser without the need to download the whole file, and without using a plugin.
However, the built in media controls can be very imprecise, especially with longer files such as podcasts. Media Controller solves this issue by providing buttons and keyboard shortcuts that skip by increments of five seconds and up.

- (2016-12-07) This serves my purpose well and a great improvement over the crappy built-in player. I agree with Emmanuel in that key mapping would be a great addition, particularly to jump backwards and forwards in the audio playback. Clicking those buttons gets a bit tedious after a while. It would be nice to have options to speed up or slow down the audio too if it could be done.

- (2014-10-25) Jack Bauer: Incredibly useful! A great tool for power users! FYI, the extension now does have keyboard shortcuts.
- (2014-08-08) Good, but may you add button "play speed" (x1, x1.25, x1.5, x1,75, x2) for listen podcast
- (2013-09-08) Emmanuel Tsapekis: Totally awesome! Great to pair with chromecast! Only wish keyboard mapping was a possibility instead of having to use mouse
