A super simple Chrome extension that allows you to jump backwards/forwards a few seconds in the HBO player using the left and right arrow keys, just like on Netflix.
The extension is currently only available in an unpacked version. To install it, perform the following steps:
- Clone or download this repository.
- Go to chrome://extensions in Chrome.
- Check the
Developer modecheckbox. - Click
Load unpacked extension…. - Select the
HBOKeyboardScrubbingdirectory.
The extension should now have been added to the list of installed extensions. Make sure you reload any HBO tabs that were open before the extension was installed.
Press the left arrow key when in the player to rewind 5 seconds.
Press the right arrow key when in the player to fast-forward 5 seconds.
Hold Shift when pressing either of the arrow keys to increase the duration to 15 seconds.
This exension was developed in an evening after binge-watching Parks and Recreation and being frustrated with the lack of keyboard scrubbing support. It has only been tested on HBO Nordic in Chrome 59.0.3071.115 for Mac OS X and I can't guarantee that it'll work for anyone else but me.
