Speed up playback watching video (include 1.1x to 1.5x ffwd rate with audio)?
Because I also had problems with understanding how to use this feature, I try to describe in most simple way how to do it.
Hope it helps. All instructions here are for Windows users.

1.
Grab beta version of Kodi v17 - Krypton, or later release from here: https://kodi.tv/download/
Kodi v16 doesn't have this function yet (or I cannot find it).

2.
If previous version of Kodi is already installed, make a backup, just to be sure.
More info about backup here: http://kodi.wiki/view/backup

3.
Install fresh Kodi or update current version.

4.
Launch Kodi, go to Settings.

5.
Go to Player settings » Videos
Image

Turn on Sync playback to display.

6.
Exit Kodi - because next you need to create keymap file and Kodi reads it only during start.

7.
First, you need to find where your "userdata\keymaps" for Kodi is, for example:
Code:
c:\Users\{user_name}\appdata\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\keymaps\

8.
Create a "keyboard.xml" file inside "keymaps" folder.
Assign some keys for tempo up/down. In following example (taken from this thread) there is Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right mapped.
Edit its content, write as follows (or use your own keyboard shortcuts):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
        <left mod="ctrl">PlayerControl(tempodown)</left>
        <right mod="ctrl">PlayerControl(tempoup)</right>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>
For specific info about keymaps, look here: http://kodi.wiki/view/keymap

9.
Start Kodi.

10.
Play video.
Press Enter (to see the status bar).
Press mapped key to increase tempo, see current tempo on OSD.

Additional notes:
a) If you are using different skin than default Estuary, I don't know if you will see the tempo multiplier/info on OSD. This probably depends on skin.
b) If you are using different than keyboard input device to control Kodi, you probably will need to assign/map different shortcuts.
