Call me weird, but I often watch old movies / tv shows at 130% speed (using VLC). A lot of the good old oldies are very slow moving, and at 20-30% faster you sometimes can’t tell that things have been sped up.

Is it possible to add a playback speed feature to Plex?

Thanks.

> I use plex for checking my surveillance webcam. For quick scanning an option for different playback speeds (x2, x4, x16) would be awesome.    Other purposes would be: education videos, audiobooks, interviews (for transcription).   What do you...

search before posting a new request!
