Description
Having the ability to select different playback speeds would be very welcome.
## Problem
Most modern video players and services offer the ability to select different playback speeds. This is helpful for reducing the time it takes to watch a video, or alternately slowing things down when called for.
## Proposal
Add a playback speed option under the settings gear icon.
## Prior Art
YouTube and Rumble web video players.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing playback controls and the settings gear entry point, then inspect how playback is handled through the project's GStreamer integration. Compare the proposed control with the cited YouTube and Rumble examples. Done means users can select a playback speed from settings and video playback responds accordingly.
