"Next Track" doesn't do the right thing for Spotify podcasts

First, thank you for adding the media control functionality.

Unlike when playing songs where clicking the "next Track" jumps to the next song, when playing a Spotify podcast episode, Instead of jumping to the next episode in the queue clicking "next Track" performs a "skip" and just skip 15 seconds forward within the same episode.

As a side comment, the Spintunes extension "next Track" performs correctly and jumps to the next episode in the queue.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon as I mostly listen to podcasts while riding.

  I am writing to report that it was not fixed in the latest update (1.591.2272.20).

  While it works correctly in Spintunes, the native support performance/speed is much better, so I am hoping you can fix the podcast behavior soon.
