PLEASE implement this!!! It’s almost standard on every other app. This is keeping Plex from being my main media app. I hate having to export videos to VLC just to watch them faster. YouTube has this feature, almost everything has this feature. Why does Plex not have this yet?

> 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...
