G+_Jon Messenger Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I need some help, I am looking for an Android Podcast app that allows playback speed control for video podcasts. I have found a lot that claims playback speed control but it only allows the feature for audio podcasts. I want to scrap my iPad but need the app before I commit to going Android for my tablet. It would also be nice if the app played well with sync to other devices so I can sync them between my Nexus 5 and a tablet, but this is not a make or break feature.

G+_Jon Messenger Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Does it offer speed control for playback of video podcasts, last time i used it it did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Julie Wills Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm not sure that any app offers speed control for video. BeyondPod can play video as audio, and you can control the speed when playing audio-only. It can also use an external player if you find any video player (not necessarily a podcatcher) that will adjust speed for video. But if you use an external player, BP won't know where you've got to if you pause partway through playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_James Fridley Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 BS player is the best option. As an external player it works well with Doggcatcher, and it can increase the speed of audio only and video files, but it can also play them with the screen off, and can do PIP.

G+_Jon Messenger Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sorry James Fridley your comment said "it can increase the speed of audio only and video files". The audio only part had me thinking it could not speed control video. While not an elegant solution I suppose it works. I have purchased Dogg catcher in the past so I will give it a whirl again. Why can't one of these pod catchers just include it, I would buy it in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Julie Wills Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Jon Messenger Probably because there are hooks into the built-in Android audio player that make audio speed adjustment possible. I'm guessing the same isn't true for video, which makes it a more difficult thing to do.? I'm also going to guess that fewer people want video speed adjustment compared with the number who want audio speed adjustment, so there's less incentive for podcast devs to implement it.
