I'm releasing pb2player, a Gstreamer video player with support for variable speed playback. Due to Gstreamer, it benefits from hardware acceleration, like the built-in Media player and unlike mplayer / vlc (AFAICT). This means higher resolution and framerate, less battery drain, and/or faster playback rates depending on your video.

The player is basic, but quite useful and solid in my experience. It supports m3u playlists, faster / slower playback and random seeking within the current video. The variable speed playback is nice for skimming the boring parts of a clip. Alas, there is no pitch control (so that the voices in your head-phones *will* start squealing at high playback rates).

Binaries: install attached debs (python-gobject-2_1.0 fixes a Debian dependency level problem)
  • dpkg -i python-gobject-2_1.0_all.deb
  • dpkg -i playbin2player_1.0.1-1_all.deb

Github, stable branch: https://github.com/danmbox/playbin2player/tree/v1.0.x

Tweaks to create Maemo deb from sources: see attached playbin2player-extra-maemo-src.zip (patched mydebian/rules and python-gobject-2 control file for equivs-build).
