Is this a common knowledge? Is this an old feature? I accidentally found about it few days ago.

Also, if you hit the “?” key, it will show you over two dozen keyboard shortcuts.

I have several JavaScript commands in a bookmark folder that speed up videos and I've noticed that almost every video is better at 1.1x speed (I have like a dozen different speeds for slower and faster set up), like it sounds normal. I'm convinced that all the people putting out 20+ minute videos are slowing them down ever so slightly to make them longer. Pair this with Sponsorblock and you can cut huge amounts of pointless time out of videos.

Now that's a pro tip! Thanks!

Is there any way to speed it up on a Roku device?
