Well, no such luck. I have learned a few more thinks about this issue.

1. It does not occur on x86_64 or Raspberry PI versions of 
mythfrontend.  So far only Android version.

2. It's not associated with the first skip event used.  It can happen 
again during the same program viewing but always after 15-20 minutes of 
watching without skipping.

3. I was watching about 1 hour 15 minutes into a currently recording 
program but had not skipped any commercials for >20 minutes. I checked 
Information and saw the on screen display the timeline at 1 hour 15 
minutes.  I hit the right arrow to advance by 1 minute, but it jumped to 
1 hour 21 minutes. I had to back up 6 minutes to get back to where I 
was. (BTW commercial flagging is not running)

Does anyone else see this on Andriod mythfrontend?
