Hello !
As part of a Open Source Software course at University Paris 8, me and @Sriram448 would like to work of this feature.

I'd like to add some emphasis on the UI level of this feature request. Ease of use wise, there can be vast differences between functionally equivalent implementations.

For the most elegant solution I know, a vertical two finger slide on the player screen immediately adjusts/fine-tunes playback speed to your likings in realtime, much unlike a clumsy numeric setting in a menu that requires close attention and multiple proficiently aimed taps for every change.

To get some inspiration about the former concept, see e. g. MXPlayer (closed source).

For the latter, see e. g. VLC for Android. At non default speeds, there is at least a shortcut button to the (finicky) speed setting interface, but if current speed is 1.00, even that shortcut vanishes.

Will there will be default playback speed because I always watch in 2x speed so it will be annoying to go and change it to 2x speed. If there isn't please add it

[Natolu24]

Ohh yes that sounds like something doable, we'll add it
