I noticed that AppGameKit has a number of really cool features to load videos and control their playback.
https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Video.htm

My question now is:
Is it possible to control the play back speed- increase and decrease it.
If not- is it possible to extend app game kit somehow to get it to do that? I need it for my interactive app

-Set frame dynamically on a paused video
- zoom in or out of video and be able to pan the video (If i need to stream the video to a picture- are there any examples of that?)

no AppGameKit has no commands to change the sound speeds but it has memblocks

the value in the above can be used to change the speeds 44100 might be the original setting
changing this can speed up or slow down the sound

you could use GetMemblockInt to get the original setting
I have had limited success with this and use it in the latest version of my driving game at
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/222159 the bottom video as for
doing the same in videos I haven't yet tried there is the SetVideoPosition( seconds )
which you could try and play skipping it along mathematically yourself but its not recommended
as the results would be different on different devices but there may be a similar method with videos
with memblocks but you would prob find AppGameKit crashing with too large a video and you would need
to know what byte stores the videos speed. Hopefully in an update they will release a playback speed
for sound and videos

Video is tricky, I will highly recommend keeping it simple.

I am sure a few extra grey hairs have materialized from the void by me trying to get video playing the same on win10, android and ios. The good news is it works - eventually - the bad news is don't try to do anything special!

Keep it simple.
