Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind HTML5 audio/video with shortcuts
Image from store
Description from store
HTML5 video provides native APIs to accelerate playback of any video, but most implemented players either hide or limit this functionality. This extension fixes that, plus more...
It will help you optimize your video viewing by allowing you to make quick playback speed adjustments, as well as rewind the video to hear the last few second one more time. We don't read at a constant speed, and we talk much slower than we read - there is no reason why we have to listen at a constant speed and at a (very) slow rate.
Once the extension is installed simply navigate to any page that offers HTML5 video, and you'll see a speed indicator in top left corner of the video player. Hover over the indicator to reveal the controls to accelerate, slowdown, or rewind the video (10 seconds + lowers playback speed). Or, even better, use your keyboard:
- S - decrease playback speed.
- D - increase playback speed.
- R - reset playback speed.
- Z - rewind video by 10 seconds.
- X - advance video by 10 seconds.
- V - show/hide controller.
If you prefer other shortcuts, want to change the increment value, or want the player to remember your playback speed in the future, head into the settings page and customize it to your heart's content.

- Excellent extension. It would be great to have more customizable shortcut options, not only single letters.

- I installed it for ESPN+ but the advance/rewind feature doesn't respect the skip duration setting. No matter what value is entered, it only will skip ahead/back by a max of 10s. Also, it often skips less than 10s, results in an infinite loading spinner, and is always much more sluggish than the built-in skip fwd/back buttons on the video player UI.

- Raul Zaur
- First of all thank you for this extension. I've been using it for a long time and it's been very useful. One small suggestion for the future: it would be nice to have an import/export feature for the settings, so they can be backed up. Thank you again
- Ramon B.
- I've been using it for 4 or 5 years I guess but this year I am getting an annoying behavior when after using В (or any other actually) hotkey 3 times in a row leads to page go to previous page and sometimes more than 1 previous page, so it somehow triggers "<-", "previous page" button. And it annoys me so much... I love this extension, not sure what to do with that so decided to write a review, maybe you can look up into it please.

- disable on site option removed

- good
- Sidney Francois
- I am back with a 1 star rating. The previous "fix" of removing the extension and re-adding it worked for a few weeks. However, in the last few days things started breaking again. Videos would start with random, different speeds (not the pre-configured ones). Hot keys to reset/change the speed would randomly stop working. Very frustrating experience. If this continues to happen I'll have to find an alternative.
- bruh memer
- basically works on any mp4, buggy
- Subrat Singhal
- Great extension works on a lot of places and many unexpected ones as well. It kinda works on audio only sites likes music players as well but the controller is not visible in that, that maybe added optionally to have control there as well. The reset feature is best at times when something happens and speed changes to something random although rare, or when the speed of the video is not in sync due to the step value being different or some other reason. Great work! Some minor bugs like speed changing randomly on new tabs can be looked at but then again reset hotkey kind of helps there. Cheers!

- Comment Spae
- It works great on nearly every player but the "hide by default" button is broken and it shows regardless of if you check it to hide by default. Which is very inconvenient.
- Ansh Chaturvedi
- Its fanstastic I have a suggestion if you can add a feature to skip the silent part in the video it will be helpful
- Allie Jasmine
- For those that aren't able to save. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. If it's not doesn't work write the websites as 'youtube.com' rather than 'www.youtube.com' or anything else. Not sure which of these worked but one of them fixed the saving issue for me

- Carlos Rodriguez
- Before it was easy to speed up to max in ads inside a youtube video cause it returned to 1x after the ad finished, now the speed is recalled after ad (even if options are disabled in extension), so reset to 1x manually. It would be usefull to hace an option de set automatically restart speed on every video stream change like ads start and finish. Another idea is that speed step change could be exponential. That would be more natural and useful. For example: 1x to 2x: 0.1 step 2x to 3x: 0.2 step 4x to 5x: 0.4 step 5x to 6x: 0.8 step ... Also, when speed surpasses a custom value, when the streams ends, it could restore the speed of the previous stream, cause it considers the last stream (like some ad) is not useful. Or simply remember de stream speed by recognizing the unique identifier of stream. Regards.

- Great app, worked with encoders with f13-f20 save shortcuts
- Jan Wieczorek
- Great plugin. I think it would be helpful to allow users to set the position of the controls overlay - currently it can only be top left corner. Other than that it's perfect intuitive and extremely helpful. Saved me a lot of time.

- I used it for years, but over the past few months, it started to lag or tear the video more and more often. I had to remove it..
- Death or life?
- Not good
- Divya Kedia
- I wish there was an option to install an older version whenever an update breaks things. I've been using this extension for years and no other has matched up to it.
