QMPlay2 [Feature request] playback speed control

I'm using playback speedup constantly with podcasts and some youtube videos. The one in ffmpeg isn't worth adding mpv [ https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/7865 ] and mpc-hc added scaletempto2 from chromium which makes it possible to have intelligible dialogue even at speeds above 2x

Which filter is used in FFmpeg? Is rubberband ok?

Yup, it's rubberband. It's better than nothing ;) I've stopped using desktop apps for that to be honest, since there's nothing that can beat scaletempo plus skip silence from exo [Google's engine which various player make use of]

Ok, maybe I'll check the algo from Chromium. I tried to listen rubberband using pulseeffects 5.0 and it doesn't sound good.

that feature plus voice normalization and auto playback next file when current file is finished are default for current players.

The thing is, no desktop player that I know of has a skipsilence feature the way android players do, it can cut hour from a 2h lectures, podcasts without being annoying. So I've just stopped using anything else for that purpose.

You're wrong, because it is your use case and your feelings about algorithm. It depends on audio file. For me for user speech (audio book) Chromium algorithm can be better, but for many other music files, Rubberband is much better than Chromium.

You're misquoting me, I said:

I don't care about actual speedup algo that much it's the skipsilence feature that really matters to me nowadays. So the initial issue in its current form, lost its importance, should it be closed?

The feature speed playback and add automatically next file in same folder when current playback is finished are default to current players.
