Would be nice if Plex added Playback Speed Control like whats on YouTube. I know it’s not an important feature compared to others, more so it’s not something that a lot of people are asking for but it would be nice to have when wanting to speed up or slow down a particular scene in a Movie/Show.

+1  
I listen/watch podcasts on Plex and would love to speed them up without installing a chrome extension!

I also agree. I require speed choice for iPhone to speed up my tutorials. However it should be a standard feature option across all platforms. Crazy that it is not already implemented.

Plex just implemented the first step towards this! Variable playback speed for audio files in the Android 6.12.0 app that was just released. I’m so excited! Hopefully this means they will add this feature in other players and later for video files!
