[Enhancement] Playback speed by library

Open ambarnes2 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice that if the player settings could be custom to the library in. For example, when listening to Audiobooks, I like the playback speed at 1.25x and the Chapter Track visible. But, when listening to Podcasts, i prefer the playback speed to be 1x and have the Chapter Track hidden

Describe the solution you'd like

Custom player setting per library

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

None

+1 on this and I got here wanting to have a separate speed for meditation library not podcasts (i.e., a separate use case from podcasts).

Also, it would be nice to be able to override even per book or per episode. I toggle enough between books where the narrator has different speeds, and I keep having to change the playback speed on even that level. There could be an initial default per library for sure. For example, podcasts seem to be mostly OK at 1.0x, whereas audiobooks generally are at 1.3x (and this is where the variability mostly comes)

I just ran into this as well. I listen to multiple books at once, and it would be great if it could remember the playback speed you set for a given book. Otherwise have to adjust it each time I switch books.

This is what I want to see. Seems more reasonable per book since what I mentioned above. Book playback speed isn't dependent on what library they're in, but by how fast the narrator chooses to read

Remember playback speed for each audiobook/podcast #1039
