Your instructions are a bit confusing.

List the exact steps to reproduce the issue.

1. revanced>video>default playback speed> set to 1.0x and and turned off "Remember Playback Speed Changes".

Now if i open any video and from top right corner i change playback speed to anything e.g. 1.5x and i switch to another video, that video will start with 1.5 playback speed even when i have turned off that setting.

but

2. when i have set revanced>video>default playback speed> anything other than 1.0x lets say 1.25x and do the same process above of switching to 1.5x from inside the video and then open another video, it'll start with 1.25x.

so the bug is in 1.0x speed.
I've sent video in discord server support section and my discord tag is (monank)

From my tests, the override speed hook is not being called when the speed is set to 1.0

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

This is the behavior of stock YouTube.

Try with stock YouTube and you'll see:

Open a video, change the speed, then open a new video from inside the video player (ie: open a video from the suggested videos below the currently playing video), YouTube will retain the existing playback speed until you close the player.

But if you close the video player, then open a new video, the playback speed will be back to 1.0

The playback speed patch is altering this behavior, but only if the speed on video load is not 1.0x.

Some ways to resolve this would be picking one of:

1. set the speed back back to 1.0x for this situation. This would alter the stock YouTube behavior, for better or worse, and playlists would be affected the most.
2. do not reset the playback speed to the default, if the playback speed is not 1.0x when the video loads (would match stock YouTube behavior, but may not be what some users want)
3. Make no changes, and accept the existing patch behavior as-is.

yea looks like its issue of original YouTube.

So can it be fixed in revanced or it'll stay like this and can't do anything?

There's three options in the previous comment

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

Another option that can fix this, is to add an "auto" entry to the default playback speed setting.

Where "auto" would act the same as unpatched YouTube, and a changd of video speed is retained across multiple videos until the player is closed.

Then if a default speed of 1.0x is used, the speed will always be reset to 1.0x on every new video load. This behavior would be consistent with the behavior of using a non 1.0x default speed.
