Skipping when playing from video library does not work

Description
When playing live tv or recordings, skipping forward and backward works like expected. So far so good...
Unfortunately, when watching videos from the video library, skipping is more or less broken: whatever button I press (left, right, up, down) the video just skips forward for some seconds. This way it is impossible to jump back for some seconds (because e.g. you did not understand a part of a dialog) or skip forward longer time spans (because e.g. you have already seen the first half of a movie). This is a regression because it worked perfectly until I upgraded from v0.25 to v0.26.
This is such a severe limitation for me that I stopped using mythtv for video playback and switched back to external players.

I just run:
$ export LC_ALL=C $ mythfrontend -v playback > myth.log
I tried to view a video but, unfortunately, playback failed. Another video started, I tried skipping forward and backward a few times (but it failed as always). I don't know if the log file clearly demonstrates the problem...
Please let me know if I can do anything else in assisting to fix this bug (besides coding).
PS: Happy new year!

I'm optimistically marked this as fixed in Master and the future 0.27 release as a result of the #10104 related changes. Please reopen if this turns out not to be the case.
In the meantime, seeking should work correctly for a non-Matroska video if you manually rebuild the seektable:
mythcommflag --rebuild --video path/to/my/video.avi
Note that mythcommflag is a bit temperamental about pathnames, e.g. absolute versus relative to the storage group directory, so please seek help on the mythtv-users list if this fails to work.
This has nothing to do with Video Library, but rather with the video file itself. Please attach a complete log file from "mythfrontend -v playback" that demonstrates the problem.
