How about in the Play Group settings ( 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/playgroup.cpp 
)?  Then users can assign play groups (including default) to start at 
the desired time on a per-recording-rule basis.  Or, at least make it a 
live setting (that's not buried in the settings pages) that is changed 
during playback and remembered. IMHO, making it another setting just 
grouped in the main/global settings is just a sign of developers not 
knowing (agreeing) what they want the program to do, as opposed to a 
setting to allow users to choose how MythTV works for various different 
recordings made from various channels (like channels that don't care 
about their "unimportant" shows as long as their sporting events are 
broadcast in full) and/or on various different days (like days with lots 
of earlier-broadcast sports) that may or may not experience delays from 
the broadcast.

Note: the Play Group settings include things like the jump/skip amounts 
and initial time stretch.
