A JavaScript library for HTML5 video players, offering customizable speed controls, playback rate changes, speed buttons, and saved user speeds.

What is HTML5 Video Speed Control?

HTML5 Video Speed Control is an open-source JavaScript library that provides an easy way to add customizable playback speed controls to HTML5 video players. It works by hijacking the HTML5 video API and overriding the default playback behaviour to enable variable speed playback.

Some key features include:

• Setting a default playback rate for the video
• Adding buttons to allow the user to decrease or increase playback speed
• Saving user-selected playback speeds and applying them automatically on future visits
• Setting minimum and maximum allowable speeds
• Customizable UI through CSS and option parameters
• Supporting keyboard shortcuts
• Analytics to track speed changes
• Lightweight at just 2KB minified and gzipped

The library is easy to install requiring just the HTML5VideoSpeed.min.js file and one line of JavaScript to activate it. It works seamlessly across browsers and devices with HTML5 video support. The developer provides customizable skins and icons to fit any video player design.

In summary, HTML5 Video Speed Control enables creating a better and more customized video watching experience by giving viewers more control over playback speed.
