Choose Playback Speed Option in OSD
#1
Its 2022! Can we had an option in the video OSD to toggle between different playback speed from 1x, 1.5x all the way to 4x. For now the maximum playback rate is x 1.5 and you have to use the keyboard for it

Bumping to say it is definitely not there, at least for me, using Estuary on Nexus for Windows. It hasn't been on any version of Kodi I have ever installed, and I very much would like it as well.

I don't know what that screenshot in that link is, but my Settings menu looks different. Below "Colour management", I only have "Toggle subtitle", and that's it.

I have also read people saying that Ctrl + left or right, or Alt + left or right should work with a keyboard, but those don't work either. Alt does nothing at all, and Ctrl skips like 90 seconds.

As far as I can tell, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, there is currently no way to do this with Estuary through the default settings or any add-ons.

I have Sync Playback to Display enabled. The problem for me isn't that video or audio quality is degraded or anything like that, it's that I literally do not have the option to speed up or slow down, and everything I've read in these forums as options do not appear to exist in my version of Kodi.

regarding playback speed in general

https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls its alt+← or →(with the caveat "Only works when Sync Playback to Display is enabled which will Disable Audio Passthrough")

regarding whats on the OSD, this is skin specific as the skin decides what to show, in the noted estuary is VideoOSD.xml

if the goal is to get the buttons included on the OSD in estuary you can go to the estuary section https://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=260 and at the top there is a Feature Requests thread.

Alt+← or → does not work for and I have Sync Playback to Display enabled. I don't understand why. That keyboard combination does nothing at all.

So are you saying that with the right XML code update, I could add Playback speed to the OSD, assuming I could get it to work with the keyboard controls in the first place?

Update: The movie I was testing this with is now playing at 1.5x and I can see that under the track bar. However, now it's stuck there. Pressing alt+← or → now does not change the playback speed. In fact, I'm not sure how or when the playback speed actually changed to 1.5x.

I came out and went to another movie, and it is running at normal speed (thankfully), but pressing alt+← or → does nothing for this movie either. Very strange...

I don't know if adding it to the OSD might make it work more consistently? Can you provide what can/should be added/modified in VideoOSD.xml to get his option onscreen?

its not a copy and paste operation. you need to insert new controls, create graphics for those controls and issue commands from those controls https://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions such as the TempoUp, TempoDown

if youre not familiar with sinning the only way to get someone else to write this for you is to submit a feature request (in the estuary thread) as suggested

Got it. Has anyone heard of a keyboard command not working consistently like I'm experiencing? I've pressed Alt + →  probably 100+ times (including coming out of the movie, going to another one, and coming back to the movie), and I don't know how many times it has to recognize the command to get to 1.5x, but that's where I'm stuck.

I don't really need it on the OSD, I would be fine with just being able to do this with the keyboard shortcut if it actually worked.

It's most definitely there in the OSD https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ml#L85-L92

If you don't see it then the condition Player.TempoEnabled is not being satisfied, so that is either Sync Playback to Display isn't enabled or for some reason the player on your device can't do the tempo controls.
