It's also a little annoying when the commercials are incorrectly marked
and pressing forward skips some random large value, there is no easy way
to go back because where you jumped from wasn't a marked point. So you
have to just manually skip back to the correct place

Would it be possible to remember a temporary "last jumped from" position
so rewinding would jump back there?

Or perhaps the interface could refuse to skip breaks longer than X mins?
Commercials here are rarely as long as 5 minutes for example. Or put up
a prompt "Commercial break is Y (longer than X) mins" and have you press
fwd again to really skip that far.
