Only works for local web server, unless "Plex server override" is set

The Chrome extension only works for the local web server and does not work for plex.tv, unless "Plex server override" is set.
If "Plex server override" is set to the Plex server address and port, the extension works for both the local and the plex.tv/web servers.
This is version 0.7.2
That's actually because my browser and Plex server are both on a NAT'd LAN. So when using the plex.tv/web interface, the extension tries to connect to the external (public) address of the Plex server, which is port-mapped from the outside to a random port, but not from the inside, where the port is the default 32400.
As you've discovered the issue is with the way plex.tv reports the plex server IP address. There's not much I can do except trust what it provides me with, but your situation is the exact reason I added the server address override feature.
Yep, I figured. So, no worries, and great job on the extension!
