Cannot get PlayerControl(tempoup) to work with 18.0b5 ... no effect on playback speed - graysky - 2018-11-11

I read this thread wherein the PlayerControl(tempoup) and PlayerControl(tempodown) commands are shown which allow speed up of video+audio up to 1.5x.  I added the code shown at that link to a new textfile ~.kodi/userdata/keymaps/custom.xml
 
When I launch kodi with debugging, recognizes that I am hitting that button to use the command, but there is no effect on video playback. I am running 18.0b5 on Linux x86_64. Thanks for any insights.

Have you enabled sync playback to display?

There's a note under the possible player controls mentioning exactly that
