Hey there, I want to make it brief. I’m a fresh user. Loving the software. Only one feature is lacking for my taste: a playback speed option if it could be supported. Should the FireTV Stick not be powerful enough to allow playback speeds up to 2x? I’m watching some anime episodes and sometimes it’s a little slow and carries on with still images. I prefer to watch episodes at 1.2 - 1.3x speed, depending on the show. Do you think it is something that might be feasible in the near future? ---

Please use the search before posting new suggestions. This will help reduce duplicates that distract votes from already existing requests/suggestions. There’s already a similar request with a significant amount of votes. I’ll close this post… please vote on the existing post instead. > [@\[implemented\] Playback Speed](https://forums.plex.tv/t/playback-speed/69044): > > 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 think?
