play rate (h264) on media player still not working?!

Its kind of frustrating that in 5.2 play rate (x4, playing backwards) for videos (h264 and any other format) still doesn’t seem to work properly in blueprints?!

The only option seems to be Image Sequences which super heavy in terms of compute.

Or is there any plugin, media player, codec that solves this problem im not aware of?

@Epic please get this fixed; you want to open the engine for different media applications, but today still there no way to play a video backwards?
