[implemented] Playback Speed

Their too busy exposing watch history. Hate it when a company looses sight of what it is in an effort to be something it will never be.

Not sure why this has not been done in ten years, seems such a basic thing and VLC and YouTube have both othered it for ages. thankfully there is Video Speed Controller for Chrome.

Developers should do their jobs and add this feature!!!

Hi @McWankeKids,

Since we are 1 month into 2024 i imagine your plans for 2024 have been finalised.

Anything further you can share with regard to playback speed controls?

Much appreciated.

With Google Podcast gone, I just started using AudioBookShelf to automatically download episodes into a music library I setup on my PMS so that I can host all the podcasts I listen to myself.

That said I like to listen to my podcasts at 1.5x speed and would love this to be implemented.

I think this is the most glaring missing feature of Plex compared to desktop media players as well as youtube and some other streaming players. And it is the reason I prefer not to use Plex for certain media to my own inconvenience. Need to be able to play at 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x at least.

Vote +1 for this feature!

we are making a serious effort to rebuild some trust and get in and engage with all of you and I don’t feel like we are doing that right unless we own up to it and be honest here.

I think that’s a great initiative, and well good to see. However it’s already been 4 months since you wrote that, and I don’t believe I’m alone here, but it’s starting to feel that isn’t happening. Regular updates on this would be very welcome, and also help you achieve your goal of regaining some more trust for plex users.

Looking forward to this feature! Thank you!

How is the “effort” going? Any updates on the last 6 months?

Any updates on this? When the Fireside happened I was quite hopeful, but I have not seen anything from there implemented yet

It’s been 10 years. The Wright Brothers INVENTED FLIGHT and THE AIRPLANE in less time.

+1, I very agree …

+1 +1 any amount of speed increase would be very helpful. Trying to cut the cord with Netflix and when I travel need ability to watch things quickly offline when trapped on planes.

It’s 2024. Can we please have this?
