Speed up with touch control

[Rockbard]

Feature request:
Speed up videos with touch control instead of brightness control (as an option)
Purpose:
Watching tutorials on youtube will be great if you could quickly speed up video and turn on a normal play speed when needed with convenient touch control
Note
Volume pitch should be at 100%

Thanks,
Dmitry

What if the speed setting is with swiping left to right (instead up to down)?

[Rockbard]

Right to left is filling better as time search function. That's a pretty a match standard for all players. In my opinion brightness with the up and down gesture is arguable, as I accidentally touching it all the time. But that a standard gesture for most of the players too. Maybe (just an idea) speed is up and down gesture on the left, brightness in the middle and volume on the right side?

IMO, three gestures are too much. But @ritiek made it possible in #1644 to disable either the volume or brightness control or even both. So if someone implements a third logic which handles the speed and restricts the maximum number of enabled gestures to two, I'd be okay with this.
@theScrabi @ritiek What do you think?

This should be a good addition. The only caveat I can think of is that three gestures enabled all at once might cause some trouble in triggering the correct behaviour but this shouldn't be a problem as one would be able to disable the gestures they don't need.

Just my $0.02. IMO as @bkqtnte10 mentioned it would be nicer to have the speed gesture as swiping left-right on any part of the screen. Currently, swiping top-down on the left part of screen affects the brightness and on the right part of screen affects the volume. In the same way, swiping left-right on any part of the screen would affect the playback speed.

In this way, we would be able to have all three gestures (brightness, volume, playback speed) enabled at the same time.

Still think that left/right gesture is better to use for the rewind function. My vote is probably is to do the option of choosing wich action you want to use for the left side up and right gesture, brightness or speed. Imagine you watching the video and the there goes the boring part, you swiping up on the left side and the video playing faster, you see the interesting part comes and just swiping down to set the default playing speed. Would be great to see this kind of control in other players too ср, 24 окт. 2018 г., 18:32 Ritiek Malhotra <notifications@github.com>:

Remember playback speed changes between videos.
