** Description
PipeBender (Newpipe/Tubular Fork) implemented a feature where one can change Videos tempo via middle gesture (scrolling up and down from the middle of the screen).

It's extremely helpful as many times we need to change the video tempo when there is dense info part, or some advanced discussion or one of the discussion participants is speaking slowly/fast than others. We needed to quickly go back and forth with the tempo.

In these situations (definitely not limited to), having a dedicated gesture to control the tempo becomes very handy.

Here is PR of the PipeBender that implemented this feature. Someone might be able to port it.

Currently we do have the ability to set middle gesture to get in and out of Fullscreen window, so it might be added as an option too.

Great idea. Just FYI, Tubular now has this useful functionality as well. It also:

1. Lets the user define the width of the middle gesture region.
2. Allows the user to specify which functionality is performed when swiping in each region.

It's very nicely done, but PipePipe allows blocking user-defined content, which is essential.

I would also like this feature. I'm adjusting playback speed constantly.

I discovered it on Tubular and would love to have it here, too. It's very handy. I often find myself adjusting the speed.

came from Tubular and this is the only thing I'm missing.
Hope this can be prioritized.

I would appriciate this feature too. It is the only thing that keeps me getting back to NewPipe.

That's a nice feature. You can find all the logic behind used by Tubular in app/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/player/gesture/MainPlayerGestureListener.kt
