I came across a software for Windows called "Enounce" that allows us to dynamically change the playback speed of videos on popular websites like YouTube that uses Flash technology. However, there is no equivalent program for Linux operating system.
I would like to know what should be the approach for developing a similar program on Linux. I was able to achieve this manually by opening the cached copy of the video in /tmp with VLC player and increasing the playback speed.
Not sure if they made use of YouTube APIs since I couldn't find anything on this subject.
It is an incredibly useful feature to have if you watch a lot of technical lectures online.
Any ideas are appreciated.
