[Feature]: Touch & hold to play video at 2x speed

[MixologyXBot]

Feature Description

Summary

It would be very helpful if the video player supported a “touch and hold to speed up” interaction.
When the user touches and holds on the video, playback should temporarily switch to 2x speed, and when the user releases, it should return to the original speed.

Why this is useful

• Quickly skim through less important parts of a video without changing the global playback speed setting.
• More convenient on mobile, where opening a speed menu or controls can be slower and less precise.
• Matches the “press and hold to fast-forward” style interaction that many users are already familiar with.

Proposed behavior

• On mobile (and possibly desktop with mouse button held down):
  • When the user touches and holds on the video area (or a specific control), the playback speed becomes 2x.
  • When the user releases, the playback speed goes back to the previous value (e.g., 1x or whatever the user had set).
• This should not permanently change the saved playback speed setting.

Optional enhancements

• Allow customizing the temporary speed (e.g., 1.5x, 2x, 3x) via settings.
• Visual indication (e.g., a small “2x” badge) while the user is holding the screen.

Example user flow

1. User watches the video at normal speed (1x).
2. User wants to quickly pass through a slow section.
3. User presses and holds on the video → playback becomes 2x while holding.
4. User releases → playback returns to 1x.

Thank you for considering this feature!
