Show playback speed indicator when controls are visible (if speed ≠ 1.0) #529
Description
Currently, when the playback speed is changed to a value other than 1.0, there is no visible indication of the active speed during normal playback.
It would be very helpful if, when the player controls are shown (for example, after mouse movement), the current playback speed coefficient (e.g. 1.25×, 1.5×, 0.75×) is displayed only if it differs from 1.0.
Why this is useful
- Users may forget that playback speed was changed
- This can cause confusion (“why does this episode feel faster/slower?”)
- Most modern media players provide visual feedback when playback speed is not the default
Expected behavior
- Playback speed ≠
1.0 - Player controls are visible
- A small, non-intrusive speed indicator (e.g.
1.25×) is shown - When speed returns to
1.0, the indicator is hidden
UI suggestions (optional)
- Reuse existing overlay/OSD logic (similar to volume or seek feedback)
- Or place the indicator near the timeline or speed control area
