A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> I use plex for checking my surveillance webcam. For quick scanning an option for different playback speeds (x2, x4, x16) would be awesome.&nbsp; &nbsp; Other purposes would be: education videos, audiobooks, interviews (for transcription). &nbsp; What do you think? Mod-Edit / Summary Currently supported for music libraries

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
