while not the same issue as Michael, i too am seeing issues with the default mediacodec setup. i've 5 jumppoints defined; liveTV, Recordings, Videos, Main Menu, and Guide (bound to various F-keys if it matters). When using these from within playback (liveTV & recordings tested so far) there is a very noticeable delay (in the relm of 5-15seconds before the action actually happens. Also the FFWDSTICKY & RWNDSTICKY bindings cause the video & OSD output to freeze even though it is actually seeking in the background.

Using the Decode-only option resolves all these issues. jumppoints work, and the sticky ffwd/rwnd work.
