So here what I noticed. started watching with v0-108 on a 2 hour news 
program at 14 minutes into it. Occasionally I'd hit the select button to 
see the time line and again to pause it. Then I could hit select to 
continue playing.  However, as it continued playing past the 14 minutes, 
if I hit select to pause it, I could not continue because it would think 
it was at the end and go back to the menu where I could only start from 
the beginning.

I also noticed that as I'd approach the current end time like when it 
was 33 minutes or 48 minutes depending on when I restarted playing, it 
would just on it's own, pause. Pressing select would take you back to 
the menu with no bookmarks.

I still notice occasional very small jumpiness or quivering in the the 
video playback. Only really noticeable in a scrolling text line like 
they use in news shows.  You can get rid of it by pausing or RR a few 
seconds, or restarting that video.  Kind of like how the lip sync 
problem in mythfrontend android pre-539 does after a bunch of skipping 
around; a pause fixed that.
