I have a large screen with ROKU on it and I usually end up watching on my smaller PC screen because I can speed up programs that, to my mind at least, probably could have been a movie but they stretched them out to be a series! Some movies even could easily be an hour long and they are 2. Also other things I like to watch which are documentaries, and these are not losing anything by speeding them up so I can get the information quicker. I think if ROKU itself made playback speed part of their player other apps would follow suit.
In short - for me at least, I am now hardly ever using ROKU because I can increase the speed on my PC and I cannot change the speed on ROKU - Even Netflix does not have a speed adjust when watching on a TV - only on a PC and even then only up to 1.5x - I use a browser app to speed it up to 1.75, or 2x when I need it.
ROKU need to put pressure on other apps to include speed adjust - they are losing customers.
