Remember audio playback speed and make the button more accessible

[milostv60 5]

When using Emby for audiobooks, playback speed resets to 1x every time you reload the app, both web and android app have this issue. Even worse, accessing playback speed button requires 2 clicks more then ideally needed, making Emby a chore to use with audiobooks.

Hi, yes we may offer remembering playback speed in future updates.

We can look at making the button available without the menu, the problem is that our OSD already contains so many buttons that we'll have to look at what to take out in exchange. 

Thanks for the feedback.

IMO the simple act of remembering the speed will make the button thing less important. Like if it can be set at the beginning of the book and just stay 2x until the end (including tracks) then we won't need to regularly access it.

Why can the playback speed be adjusted, but not maintained?

Hi, it's certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.

I really need this future, please consider,

I had bought  premier

It would be amazing to have a theatre keyboard shortcut for playback speed adjustment!

[TerminatorAK 17]

Yes, that's a good idea, otherwise we would have to choose again every time

Are any information about timeline available  or a roadmap for this feature? 

[DarkStar1977 82]

One more for this feature, in my case per tvshow, remembering playback speed when jumping to the following episode.

BTW, just as an idea, what about instead of a button and option at library level "Remember playback speed" ?

This will enable to just apply to specific libraries, solving the audiobooks issue, my issue and probably this issue:

Hope this helps.

it is really annoying, on chromecast the speed settings gets reset when fast forwarding or when changing subtitles.

[AlexSol 1]

It looks like a very low priority thing from devs point of view, taking into account 3 years old topic.

For sure there are reasons for it e.g. hard to implement on all platforms something with good UI/UX

But maybe anyone here knows whether it is possible to implement something around it with user scripts? at least on web versions?

Even to maintain playback speed for an active session would be really nice.

 

[DarkStar1977 82]

Indeed is very frustrating.

Specially because this is implemented for audio, screen size, and subtitles.

It's been a long since I coded but does not seems so difficult to apply if it's already applied to the others ....
