Video Playback Speed Option Request Update 2020

Hello Plex Support,

I usually watch TV shows and some movies at a faster Playback Speed than the normal 1.00. I started with podcasts and then with streaming video providers through a web browser. This helps me get through slow seasons or slow movies without missing any important info to the story.

I requested this feature to other sites and Netflix and Youtube have added it to their mobile devices which helps tremendously. I currently use Plex DNLA with VLC on my mobile devices as a workaround and I would love to use this feature natively on the Plex app with Mobile Apps, and TV Apps.

What can I do to get this feature rolling with your team? I have a lifetime membership, I love plex, I have been using it for a long time, but it sucks that I have to use a third-party app to watch shows the way I like to watch them.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
