http://support.panopto.com/documentation/viewing/variable-speed-playback-vsp

http://www.learningapi.com/2012/04/variable-speed-playback-html5-video-feature/

<Greg> But the demo at learningapi.com puts the onus on the web page to enable variable-speed playback. You'd have to use Greasemonkey or equivalent to modify pages to retroactively add this support.

http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html

http://lifehacker.com/5491852/enable-variable-speed-playback-in-youtube

animated gifs will stop with ESC key. anything else needs some kind of control (off/stop button)

http://www.animatedgif.net/business/grapher_e0.gif

http://www.animatedgif.net/business/grapher_e0.gif

animated gifs only stop with ESC on IE

<Greg> Toggle animated GIFs :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/

<Greg> Firefox intentionally disabled the ability to stop animated gifs in 2012. 825486 – Escape no longer stops animated GIFs https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825486. Insert insulting term here.

<Greg> Matthias Versen [:Matti] 2012-12-29 23:18:18 PST The is a intended change from bug 614304: "ESC is now the same as hitting the stop button and the stop button doesn't stop animated images"

<Greg> "More precisely, Esc now only has an effect when the stop button is visible. The stop button is only visible while the main page is loading."

<Greg> "I created this ticket, but after reading the explanations I understand the reasoning behind the change. More often, people are going to be using web-based apps that want to trap the Escape key, and the old functionality breaks the page as soon as Escape is hit. We can't have Escape acting differently, because it violates the Law of Least Astonishment."
