feature request: button to change playback speed

Kodi v21 will expose this functionality via JSON API: xbmc/xbmc#24633

Nice, now we just need to figure out where to place this functionality. I would not change the long press seek function as people got used to it. Maybe similar to the slider, where you can control the precision of seek via moving the finger up and down? And this to be reached by pressing the play button?

slider idea sounds good.

Another approach would be just 2 buttons that send increase/decrease command.

also something to take into account: tempo range is 0.8-1.5 by default, but max can be increased to 2.1 via advanced settings xml

also added respective actions to that PR, so now they can be found via search in the list. With this dedicated buttons might not be needed.

Ok. So now custom buttons can be added for this.
