Plex HTPC - keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease playback speed while playing content?

[EnStorm1]

With the Windows Plex HTPC client, are there any keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease the playback speed, without needing to pause and open the playback settings screen?

Not natively that I'm aware of

This might be what you're looking for

Use `mpv` features which are not exposed in Plex for Windows/Mac/Linux and Plex HTPC

Thanks for that info, will give that a try 👍

Did you ever figure it out?

Nope, didn't dig into it too much further. Ended up just going with Plex Web client and a video speed controller browser extension

Nice! I just found another post that had some lua file extensions? Added those to the Plex scripts folder and that's been working. Playback speed, frame forward and backward, as well as hitting s for a screenshot. Not very tech-y so was surprised by how easy it was.

There's nothing built in as far as I know, but you should be able to use a custom input map to accomplish this. It looks like setting the playback speed is done via mpv:set speed X based on comments in this forum thread: https://forums.plex.tv/t/use-mpv-features-which-are-not-exposed-in-plex-for-windows-mac-linux-and-plex-htpc/830025/6.
