8x speed is useless anyway because cpu/gpu can't decode in this speed. We ofter thought about limiting this value.

It worked quite nice before, even with 32x speeds with some material, now only 4x. Was this some buffering change or what was changed? Cpu is i7-4790 and even when playing from the internal SSD drive the same problem happens, with hardware and with software decoding.

Ok, an i7 can do this but this is not the average CPU for a system running Kodi. The point is that rw/ff was rather broken, i.e. rw did go completely wrong speed. On ff the pictures show were arbitrary. Consider 32x ff on some 24p material. While on frame is displayed the video moved for 1.3 seconds. You may have seen 2 consecutive frames and then a gap for 3 seconds.

I am going to have a look whether some quick and non-intrusive change can restore some of the old behavior. If not this has to wait after we have released 15.0.
