mux-player

Description

It would be great to have additional hotkeys for adjusting the playback speed (e.g. s) and enabling and disabling the picture-in-picture mode (e.g. p). If you don't want to add these hotkeys by default, it would be great if I could add them using e.g. JavaScript event handlers myself.

Expected Behavior

I can circle through the playback speed options using the s key and enable/disable picture-in-picture mode using the p key.

Oh boy this one's a bit trickier to add. Also not a bad request, but not sure if we'll be adding this one as soon. This would also be a Media Chrome feature. If we could provide you with a workaround at the app layer, would that be of interest to you for the interim?

Ah I see. Yes, if I could add a keybinding myself and change the playback speed programmatically, that'd be great and feasible for me. My only question would be: How can I know which playback speeds does the mux-player support? So, if I want to change the speed through an API call, I would need to know the possible options. I could also imagine an API that simply make the video one step faster or slower. That'd work as well. The changes would need to be reflected in the UI though. So, after I make the call, the playback speed UI in the player should update too. And possibly the settings should be persisted in LocalStorage as discussed in the other ticket.
