Abstract: A method in a video playback system for playing a video with a specific playback speed in accordance with a video feature and a playback record is described. The system allows the playback record records a preceding playback speed corresponding to the video previously played to learn user preferences for a user. This makes the specific playback speed more suitable for the user without any adjustment. In addition, the system also allows the user input a resetting playback speed to actively adjust the specific playback speed if the original specific playback speed is not suitable for the user.
