Potential Discovery or Invention
I watch educational videos and sci-fi movies every day for about 3 hours or more per day. On my iPhone, I can set media playback speed to 1.5x or higher on YouTube app (iOS) and on some streaming services apps.
Meanwhile, my Sony CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) TV set is connected to Bell Streamer (Android TV).
However, I cannot change media playback speed on most streaming services via Android TV apps (except Criterion app). For example, YouTube complains "Not available on this device".
So, I launched Google Play Store app and installed AirMirror Receiver app onto Bell Streamer (Android TV). Then, I tapped Screen Mirroring (not Casting) icon on my iPhone's Control Centre. Most streaming service apps still do not allow media playback speed control, including YouTube app which shows 2.0x but does not make it so.
I finally figured out that accessing YouTube.com website on Safari app (iOS) on my iPhone, screen mirroring to my Sony CRT TV set, allows media playback speed control to actually function!
