			<description>Video players with configurable playback speed and visible speed indicator? 
 
I知 looking for a video player that, like VLC (https://www.videohelp.com/software/VLC-media-player), lets you configure the playback speed (e.g. 0.70ﾗ, 1.5ﾗ, 2ﾗ) and clearly shows the current playback speed while...</description>

<br />
I知 looking for a video player that, like <a class="contentlink" href="https://www.videohelp.com/software/VLC-media-player" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VLC</a>, lets you configure the playback speed (e.g. 0.70ﾗ, 1.5ﾗ, 2ﾗ) and clearly shows the current playback speed while watching.<br />
<br />
Are there any other video players that support this?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I知 Simon, the developer of Smootter.<br />
<br />
I created Smootter because I wanted an alternative to <a class="contentlink" href="https://www.videohelp.com/software/SmoothVideo-Project" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">SVP</a> with a different approach: a standalone Windows application that adds realtime frame interpolation to existing players like <a class="contentlink" href="https://www.videohelp.com/software/PotPlayer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">PotPlayer</a> and <a class="contentlink" href="https://www.videohelp.com/software/Media-Player-Classic-Home-Cinema" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MPC-HC</a>, while providing a cleaner and more streamlined configuration experience.<br />
<br />
The idea is to keep using the players people already know while adding a dedicated interpolation layer.<br />
<br />
Smootter currently supports multiple interpolation modes:<br />
<br />
- RIFE / TensorRT (RIFE 4.25 V2 real-time AI interpolation)<br />
- NVIDIA Optical Flow (NvOFFRUC)<br />
- Classic / Motion<br />
- Blend<br />
- Nearest / Duplicate<br />
- Auto mode for selecting the best validated path<br />
<br />
This allows choosing between maximum quality, lower GPU requirements and compatibility depending on the situation.<br />
<br />
I知 sharing it here because VideoHelp has a long history with advanced playback setups, filters and video processing.<br />
