MPV - faster playback speed

Post by don570 »

I put together a special modified package of MPV - a multimedia player
It allows the right click on audio or video file and choose the MPV - fast option
to speed up playback. Useful for downloaded podcasts.
There are 2 versions. Be careful. Choose the version that is correct.

Reference:
Here is execute line:

Code: Select all

Exec=mpv --speed 1.4 --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U

Checked in Fatdog64 812 and 813

Download:
mpv_fast-0.29-x86_64.txz
Size
1.7 MB

Reference:
Here is execute line:

Code: Select all

Exec=mpv --speed=1.4 --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U

I discovered (using Easy OS) that an equal sign is necessary for the speed option with newer versions of mpv ie mpv 0.34

Code: Select all

Exec=mpv --speed 1.4 --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U

should be changed to

Code: Select all

Exec=mpv --speed=1.4 --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U

I put together a MPV package for fatdog64 900 alpha ( including dependencies)
Download and install it like a regular fatdog package.
Right click on a media file in ROX filer and a menu appears.
Choose the regular MPV player or modified version that speeds up the playing speed.
Faster speed is useful for downloaded podcasts.

Available in first post.
