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
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:
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):
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.
