yes there was, there were two arrow type buttons either side of the timeline that when when pressed or clicked would increase the speed of the current playing video. Check out an older portable version.
There were 2 arrow buttons on either side of the timeline. You can now:
- Press longer on the next button to have forward skip.
- Press longer on the previous button to have backward skip.
- Click on the speed control on the status bar to have your 2 buttons.
- Use the menus
- Use the hotkeys
- Use the gestures
- go to customize interface and put the buttons everywhere you want.
And please, we are waiting for your patches...
