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.
