Is there a way to make speed control persistent?

Hi there!

Though I run VLC mostly on Linux, I believe this to be a general question, rather than Linux-specific.

I am a big fan of the (faster, fine) speed control in recent versions of VLC, but would like it to be more persistent, not sure how to achieve this.

That is, I would like the current selected speed setting (I prefer to watch movies / TV generally at 1.1 or 1.2 speed, some of them at 1.3) to apply to all items in a playlist, rather than only the one playing when I first modify the speed by selecting "(Faster, fine)" from the drop-down menu.

Is there a way to acheive this?

Even better would be finer-grained control, so I could assign normal speed to most things musical, and my favored slight speedup to most movie / tv. But that seems far more complicated :) All I want to figure out right now is how to make the speed control apply to an entire playlist rather than only a particular item at a time.

Cheers,

timothy

vlc --rate 1.3 or from the Tools / Preferences / Advanced / Playback > Playback speed.. This is a new feature in VLC 1.1.
