The internal player handles skipping using indexes written into a
database table for recordings. Mythvideo doesn't index its files so
that's why the same player acts differently even though you're playing
the same file. Even without an index the internal player typically
makes pretty good guesses with videos. There must be something unusual
about your recordings.
There isn't a fix in that folks can point you to some option or
setting that you should enable. Someone would have to write code to
index things in the videos list and make the player aware of that. It
gets talked about every so often but nobody has stepped up to do it yet.
