More playback choices possible?

[AlistairLethlean]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use media-playback-speed for my drum teaching website. I need different speeds than the ones available

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of speeds x.5 1x 1.5x 2x I would like something like this -> x.5 x.7 x.8 x.9 1x 1.1x 1.2x 1.5x 2.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't code and cannot find the perfect plugin except for youtube custom speed changer. Nor know how to change your plugin if possible.

Additional context

Hi Alistair,

The plugin actually offers this already. It is documented (perhaps that could do with improvement). It's also documented on WordPress plugin support for this plugin.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-the-available-speed-values-be-customized/

add_filter(`media-playback-speed-data`, function($data) {
    return [
        // custom speeds
    ];
});

I'd be open to a PR for improved documentation if you feel you can better document this.

Please be aware that the number of speeds you've specified, although they will work, will take up a lot of horizontal space. #4 may capture some considerations for this.

Hi Lewis,
Thank you for your quick reply. I have looked through your recommendations, edited the plugin and it works EXACTLY the way I want. I cannot thank you enough for help here. So many of my drum kit students will be affected by this little bit of code!

[Lewiscowles1986]

I have not recommended that you edit the plugin. The code I supplied is for a daughter-plugin, which someone would then be able to install aside this and still reap the benefits of the apply_filter altering the data of this plugin.

I'm glad it's working, but on a technical level, editing the main plugin, while you are free to do so, can make future upgrades more brittle as the files are overwritten on upgrade. This is fairly stable, but keeping a note that you've done it and checking before and after any upgrades might be an idea.

I'm ecstatic that this will help your students / audience though. It wasn't even the audience I primarily considered, but still those using this for music playback seem to be the most common case installers of this plugin. I made it for podcasts 😂
