VIdeo/audio speed control


Hi there, is there any way or custom script that could enable a video/audio speed control with the player ?
All post I found are quite old about this and the most recent one mentioned a Chrome plugin but unfortunately we can assume all our users use Chrome.
Thanks for your help or insights

Hi Jeff,

We do not have built-in functionality for adjusting the playback speed in the player, but you should be able to adjust the playbackRate value of the <video> element that the player embeds the content in, as long as the content you are embedding is a MP4.

You can see a demo of this functionality here: http://qa.jwplayer.com/~abussey/demos/general/playback-speed.html

Thank you.

Hi Jeff,

My apologies – our ticketing system does not make it obvious when we’re responding to a forum post rather than an email and our forum does not allow for HTTP links. Can you try the link below?

Thank you very much Alex, it works A1 :)
May I ask you if it works the same way if it's only an audio file ? can we modify the audio speed also with playback parameter or it's another parameter ?

It should work the same because we are embedding audio files in a <video> tag so the playbackRate API should still work, but I have not seen it done to confirm it works.
