[Michal Predotka]

It would be nice to have option to listen to podcast in speed grater than original recording.

It seems that media-hub doesn't support the playbackRate property [1] and there by this bug cannot be fixed until it is fixed in media-hub. I have reported it upstream and can be followed at bug 1446360.

Tagging this as blocked.

I love podbird but this missing feature is the only thing that has me constantly switching back to Android. How do people listen to tech podcasts at regular speeds it drives me nuts!

The qml audio component has an option to speed audio but it doesn't work on UT.

There is any update on plans to implement this? I see there is a branch with some code done:

¿Are beta-tester needed?

There is an issue with mediahub, mediahub is not responding to changing playback speed on phones
