- So I'm pretty new to kodi and looking to use the playback speed option without can give 2x+ playback. I currently using Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded. But it's limited to 1.5x.

thats not a skin limitation, it is a kodi limitation imposed due to devices not handling higher
you would need to compile your own version of kodi to change it as it is a static value in the code

Thanks for the quick response. Any idea when there might be a bump to 2x in kodi?

i might be mistaken try advancedsettings https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml maxtempo 2.1 and see how it does

@jepsizofye So do you have to create that on the android device or the upnp server?

on the playback device, the upnp server does not (nor any other server) control playback speed

I'd say that anything above x1.5 is likely to be a stuttery mess on any Android device, although the CPU's in Android devices have got more powerful since I last tried it a couple of years ago so you maybe in luck.

- the mention of the advancedsettings.xml setup. Is that on the UPnP server or the client?
- does the default skin in kodi not give you the option to playback higher than 1.0. I go to the playback speed option and it doesn't let you go past 1.0x

Follow the link given by jepsizofye it's all explained there, it's a file you create on the device that the Kodi client is installed.
The default Skin will allow you to go between x0.8 and x1.5 however for it to work passthrough must be disabled, since playback speed is for sped up playback with audio, therefore Kodi needs to be able order to resample the audio which it would not be able to do in passthrough mode.
If you don't care about audio during the sped up playback then that is Fast Forward which will go up to x32 and since there's no audio it doesn't matter is passthrough is enabled or disabled.

I saw the but it looks like it's on Windows/Macos but how would you do this on the file system of an android tablet? also, this 9 post limit. Is that removed after a certain number of posts?

Where's the android pathway to add the "advancedsettings.xml" in the android apk directory?

read the link provided above where it states "The advancedsettings.xml file, which does not exist by default, can be created by a user in their userdata folder."
note "userdata folder" is a link
click that link
