Description

Bug Report

Description

The "Force playback speed" setting does not apply speeds above 2x. Even if the user sets a forced speed of 3x, 4x, or 8x, the maximum actual speed achieved is 2x.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Set "Force playback speed" to a value above 2x (e.g., 3x)
  2. Go to any video
  3. Observe that playback speed maxes out at 2x
Expected behavior

Forced playback speed should apply the exact speed set by the user, including speeds above 2x.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the “Force playback speed” setting at 3x or higher, then trace the setting into the playback-speed entry point and locate where the 2x maximum is applied. Done means the configured speed is applied exactly, including values above 2x, without breaking normal playback-speed behavior.
