Speed Up or Slow Down Video Playback
I have a large learning library on Plex with about 8 \*\*YEARS\*\* worth of watching. I'd like to get thru these videos in less time (let's say 4 years :P ). It would be nice to have a feature where I could control the video playback speed of a stream. I know this isn't high on everyone's list but it would be a nice feature to have. Thanks to the Plex developers for all their hard work!

Somebody requested the same feature in this thread:
[Feature Request: Playback Speed](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/112530-feature-request-playback-speed/?hl=%2Bplayback+%2Bspeed)
the linked thread has more "likes" than this one does.
Although I just liked this one too. :)
If there were no other work done on Plex after this feature went in, I would be happy.

I’m sad this hasn’t gotten more attention. Would LOVE to have this. My TiVo has an amazing feature where you can speed up playback 30%. I use it quite often.
This public thread has a lot of votes, too: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/94401/feature-request-increase-or-decrease-playback-speed/](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/94401/feature-request-increase-or-decrease-playback-speed/)

Why are there two posts? Can’t these be merged into one?

Please comment/vote in the other thread which has a significant higher attention – also not to distract votes from it.
