  • Methods and systems for variable speed playback with bi-directionality
    Patent number: 9451328
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose systems and methods for variable speed playback with bi-directionality. One example implementation may comprise a computing device receiving a request to modify a playback speed of a recorded program. In response, the computing device may provide an interactive menu that enables the selection of a new playback speed for the computing device to provide the recorded program to a graphical interface (e.g., television). The computing device may further receive a selection of a given playback speed for the computing device to provide the recorded program to the graphical interface and process the video component and the corresponding audio component of the program for playout at the given playback speed. The computing device may provide the processed video component and the processed corresponding audio component in a combination for playout at the given playback speed.
