Youtube Playback Speed Control
Control speed of the youtube playback using keyboard. Press '+' to increase and '-' to decrease the playback speed.
[ Added functionality for the extension to work with all html5 videos. If you are having issue with videos other than youtube, feel free to disable it from settings]
Youtube playback speed increase or decrease is just a mouse click or keyboard button away. Get more out of Youtube and control speed of youtube video easily either by clicking the speed overlay button on the top right hand corner or just keyboard button '+' and '-'. Keyboard button are configurable and if you want to use different key, you can change this default keys from settings tab.
With HTML5 Video playback on YouTube, you can speed up and slow down the currently watching videos. I loved this feature. But still it was too many mouse clicks for me. So, this extension was created to control the playback speed using keyboard. Press '+' to increase the playback speed and '-' to decrease the playback speed. If '+' and '-' keys are already used by other extension or you want to use different key, you can change this default keys from settings tab.
This extension even works for the HTML5 YouTube player embedded in other website. Make sure that the player is in focus. A website can embed multiple YouTube player and the keyboard shortcuts will effect the currently playing one.
Everything works no change needed. Please check extension options for more setting options. You can change playback rate increment from default 0.25 to any desired increment.
Note:
- The control may not appear the first time the extension is installed or updated. Refreshing the page should make it work.
- Close the setting page after making changes for the extension to function properly.

Great stuff, and the best part is you can modify what jumps you want to take in terms of speed. Not just the usual 1.25x 1.5x... Here you can also go to 1.44x if that's what you prefer.

trash
i just loved it.
very good! and i like that u can customize how much u wanna up the speed. It would be GREAT if u guys had an update where this feature could also work on a video from EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE .
It would be good if it were possible to quickly turn on and quickly turn off the plugin. If press in the middle, then I can only reset it to 1.00, but if I need to turn on the speed x3.5 back, then I have to press on ">>" five times. It would be better if, after reset when repetition of pressing the middle button, I could return to the last value, for example, quickly switch between the x1 and x3.5 modes
he
not bad
The keyboard commands stopped working properly recently, the reset key sets it to 2x speed, the increase speed sets it to 3x and the decrease sets it to random values like 0.56, 0.38 an 0.10. If they fix that it is a 5 star extension. edit: the problems are with different commands than the default
Nice extension to speed ads Gamers Club.
Just + and - is enough to speed up and down . More helpful for uni students
very good
trash
