This will make it play at twice its usual speed. Your rate should not be
negative nor exactly zero. You can set a rate to e.g. 1e-6 if you want to
in practice stop the video; once you change it back to normal speed,
-the next frame will resume playing.
+the next frame will resume playing. Be aware that changing the rate may
+make the audio behave unpredictably; there are no attempts to do time
+stretching or change the pitch accordingly.
+
+Finally, if you want to forcibly abort the playing of a video,
+even one that is blocking on I/O, you can use (since Nageru 1.7.2)::
+
+ video:disconnect()
+
+This is particularly useful when dealing with network streams, as FFmpeg does not
+always properly detect if the connection has been lost. See :ref:`menus`
+for a way to expose such functionality to the operator.
