If you schedule through MythWeb, you can set individual timestretch
settings for each recording (MythWeb does not support Playback Groups
yet). If you schedule via mythfrontend, you can assign each recording
to a Playback Group, and also define new ones.

In addition to timestretch adjustments, playback groups also support
individual settings for forward/backward skip and jump. The Default
setting can also be adjusted, if, for example, you want all new
recordings to play at 110% stretch. I find it a very useful feature,
especially for news/documentaries and sports.
