Feature Request: Playback Speed Increase/Decrease

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is in fact an Mplayer standard feature, that you could use keyboard shortcut 
[ & ] to 
toggle the speed of current playback by 10%.

I wonder why it is not in MplayerX and if there is a chance for it, please 
consider.

Thank you for the post.

this feature is already implemented in MPlayerX since the first release.

if you click the button in the top-right corner of the play control, the 
controls for the speed/audio delay/sub delay will appear.
you could 
input the value, or
click ↑↓ when the cursor is in the text-field, or 
cmd+↑↓←, shift +↑↓←, opt+↑↓←

and also, you could set the increment by    defaults write xxxxxx

for more info, please http://code.google.com/p/mplayerx/wiki/Help?tm=6

Thx. Do appreciate your speedy reply.

However, trading a generic shortcut from mplayer itself for a customized speed 
control even to a 
value input level seems too geeky for a common user. Would you also consider 
enable the [ ] 
shortcuts as well, as they are functional on all else mplayer frontends I've 
been with across 
platforms.

If simplicity is the goal here, I'd go for the [ ] method only. Watching a 
video is like taking a drive, 
you don't need a full panel to control speed,  as there are the brake and 
accelerator that you 
control with your very real feeling.

[ ] are only known by the users who are already using mplayer, and it is too 
hard to find a clue to remember them, this is 
also the reason I didn't use mplayer's shortcut system, but made one myself.

in MPlayerX's shortcut system, cmd is bind to sub-related, opt is bind to 
audio-related.

and if only using shortcut, I have to trade off between higher precision and 
faster adjusting speed.
Of course, I could make two sorts of shortcuts for 0.1 and 0.01 precision, but 
this scheme will make users remember more 
shortcuts.

so if the user don't need tiny adjust, using the shortcut will be OK, but for 
some precise adjustment, or some media files 
which you already know the best adjustment value, direct input will be faster.

Dear Sir,

The shortcuts you pre-set as speed toggles is basically a failure due to 
conflict with system-wide 
Spaces shortcuts, which is a bug in fact.

"CTRL + ↑↓←    increase/decrease/reset speed" You might want to reconsider.

Oh,,yes. Thank you for this.

I didn't have ever used Spaces, so this was missed.

And also, CMD, OPT, CTRL + ↑↓← are all bond in MPlayerX, it will be 
reconsidered in the next release.
