Won't be fixed - v14 is EOL. Please install v15 nightly and revisit.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

No change unfortunately. Kodi 15 beta has the same problem. Have not been able to get crash logs off the two occurrences of this issue since the upgrade .

Looks like a problem in vdpau/gfx driver. How much gfx ram do you have?

I just downgraded to XBMCBuntu 11 and skipping/seeking on the same files works flawlessly. It skips directly to a full frame, without any degradation whatsoever, and continues playback smoothly. This is with +/- 10min and +/- 30 sec jumps as well as ffwd and rwnd. It's like night and day.
I then did an aptitude update to Frodo 12.2 that was available in the repository and that also is flawless. Frodo pretty much did everything I needed anyway so I guess I'll stop here.

Oh well, after running Frodo without playback issues since I started this thread I've just tested an upgrade to 15.0. Same deal. Play video, skip ahead a few times, video and kodi freezes, can't even SSH to the box. I guess Frodo is where I stop upgrading. Obviously at some point video playback has been refactored and my hardware setup is no longer supported.
