Req x2 Speed Watching - PVR TV Recordings x2 Fast Forward Audio Pitch Adjusted normal
#1
Lightbulb 
With Windows Media Center, one of the cool options was the ability to "speed" watch TV at twice the normal speed with the audio pitch adjusted to sound nearly normal.

This means we could watch twice the amount of TV in half the time. (nice once in awhile on certain types of shows)

Is some type of speed watching possible in XBMC now or in the future?

For reference, I was quite active in this old thread where the feature stuttered a bit on under powered HD4000 Intel HD Graphics systems.

Here's a video example I uploaded. You'll see the video on the left is much smoother (NVidia) vs the the right (HD 4000)
Basically I played both recordings a the same time for comparison.

So yeah any way to get x2 speed watching ability?

We cant do this in the PVR addon, it would need to be in the main XBMC video player functionality. I'd suggest posting in the main XBMC Feature Suggestions area http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=9

Or I can move it if you like?

I would like to +100 this. It is especially useful for watching lectures speedily (late night cramming). It's also pretty great for powering through a ton of anime. I love that the ps3 can do this. Although for the same language, I had a hard time understanding the dialog at >1.66x (non pitch adjusted). It would be helpful if the playback rate could be adjusted. Even if that's not possible the OP request alone would be magnificent.

If there is another thread for more on this, maybe someone can point me to it.
