[FEATURE] Option for custom playback speed #236

Problem Statement

I usually play videos at 1.35×, which is currently not available in the app.

Proposed Solution

Two possible solutions:

  1. Replace the predefined speeds with a range slider (It will help a lot with custom speeds).
  2. Add an option to set a custom speed.

I think the first solution would be great if implemented.
