419 PointsWant to speed up video slightly. 125% is too fast, 100% is too slow. How can I get 110%?
addressed in question.

7,625 PointsI get to cheat since I have access to the site's source, but if you wanted to tweak playback speed ever so slightly, you can do so with this in the console:
$("video")[0].featurette.setSpeed(1.1);
No guarantees that it'll work forever, but it's a workaround to get what you're wanting. I hope that helps!

7,625 PointsHi Everyone! I wanted to let you know that we just shipped 1.1x as an option in the video player.
Maureen Bragg
419 PointsOK, thanks all. IMHO, 25% increments are too large; 10% would be better.

Courses Plus Student 34,936 PointsMaureen, if you really want to view them at a speed of your choosing, I'd do two things: (1) download the videos, and (2) contact support (see link at right) and let them know what you want. I think more granular speed choices would be great--especially for certain instructors.

Courses Plus Student 34,936 PointsSorry, Maureen, 110% isn't an option. You're stuck with the available ones.

If you download one of the .mp4's, QuickTime Player is able to play videos at 1.1x the speed. Just click and hold the pause button until a slider shows up, and as you keep holding the click down, drag it to the desired speed.

I don't think you can adjust them to anything other than the pre-sets that are available. Maybe you could do more if you downloaded the lessons or subscribed to the iTunes feed, but then you'd miss out on the questions and quiz challenges.

11,940 PointsOne can easily watch videos offline or in iTunes, then come back and skip the video to quizes/challenges. Just click to the end of the video so it's marked as viewed.

419 PointsAwesome! Great follow up too!

419 PointsSorry, I am an absolute newbie and don't understand where to find the console. The videos are running in the web browser and I don't see the console you are referring to.

11,940 PointsMaureen, to access the console, right click anywhere on the page, click "Inspect Element", then look in the window that pops up for a tab named "Console". Click that, and type what Alan has provided.
Hope that helps.

7,625 PointsBryan said pretty much exactly what I would have. I also wanted to let you know that I submitted a ticket to the team to get a little more granular control into that 100-125% territory.
