The rate property specifies or retrieves the current playback rate.
Syntax
player.settings.rate
Possible Values
This property is a read/write Number (double) with a default value of 1.0.
Remarks
This property only applies to video media.
This property acts as a multiplier value that allows you to play the clip at a faster or slower rate. The default value of 1.0 indicates the authored speed. Note that the audio track becomes difficult to understand at rates lower than 0.5 or higher than 1.5. A playback rate of 2 equates to twice the normal playback speed.
Other considerations apply as well, depending on media type:
The Controls.fastForward method changes the value of rate to 5.0, while the Controls.fastReverse method changes rate to 5.0.
