Increased playback speeds

I know this has been asked, but had given up on Plex due to lack of being able to increase playback speed, and wondering if any progress on this. I’d like to continue with my Plex Pass to stream photography educational videos, but at increased speeds (e.g., 1.5x). It seems ironic that this is now WIDELY available (youtube, Kelby photography training, etc), but not on this great media platform! I see I can stream to VLC, which supports increased speeds, but only locally. Any help/ feedback most appreciated.

I suspect you are right… I did see a thread on this exact topic, dating back to 2014, with tons of “likes” but obviously it doesn’t seem to be any significant priority for Plex…
