Video Speeder Script

Additional Info

Overview

This Tampermonkey script allows you to control video playback on any website. You can speed up or slow down video playback, seek forward or backward by 5 seconds, toggle play/pause, and mute/unmute the video. It works on all video elements on the current page, including advertisements.

Key Controls

  • S: Increase playback speed by 0.25x.
  • A: Decrease playback speed by 0.25x.
  • Z: Rewind the video by 5 seconds.
  • C: Fast forward the video by 5 seconds.
  • Q: Toggle play/pause (play the video if it's paused, pause it if it's playing).
  • D: Toggle mute/unmute.

Instructions

  1. Install Tampermonkey (if you haven't already) in your browser.

  2. Create a new userscript in Tampermonkey.

    • Click on the Tampermonkey icon in your browser.
    • Select Create a New Script....
    • Delete any default template code and paste the provided script.
  3. Save and enable the script.

  4. Now, visit any website with video content (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), and use the key bindings mentioned above to control video playback.

Notes

  • This script only works with HTML5 <video> elements.
  • The video must be playing for controls to apply (i.e., paused videos won't respond to playback speed adjustments).
  • The script applies the changes to all videos on the page, not just the active one.

Customization

You can modify the script to suit your needs by adjusting the key bindings or playback settings. The logic is easily extendable, so you can add more features if required.
