Comment on Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled
1hitsong@lemmy.ml 1 week agoThe feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.
Yeah, this one comes up pretty often. Roku provides us no method to change playback speed, unlike web browsers or other players, and because we are required to use their video playback component, our hands are tied.
The only thing we could possibly do is have the server transcode the video ad a different speed; however, the API doesn’t have this option and currently no one is working on adding it.
If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers.
🍻 Yep, it’s really me. Cheers.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.
I would guess the next set of features “missing” from the Roku app have similar reason then. 1) I use a plugin to search and download subtitles from the browser interface; it would be great to be able to do that from the Roku app too and 2) once subtitles are available, easily adjusting the offset.

Welp, good news for this one. This feature has been available since version 3.0.0.
