I might start a movie and it'll skip maybe every 5 frames (the skipped frame counter increased a few times a sec) however after a few jumps forward or back I can get rid of the problem and able to play the same part of the movie fine that was skipping.
I have been using XBMC since the Xbox 180 days and have 3x PCs running it around my house and they can all handle the same file fine so I don't think the source is to blame. It does it on 720p MKVs and 1080p BD-raw rips that I've made myself.
I stream over NFS from my server so thought this might be an issue but it was doing this last night on a local USB drive.

my debug log above. Playing back of Star Trek commences around 00:32:14 and stops around 00:39:00.
Having only just got the box on Saturday I've not changed many settings. I disabled VDPAU since it doesn't have an nVidia chipset, I'm using VAAPI and disabled the VC-1 handling (I think this is the default). I run through an AV amp at 1080p native (in case it matters) and have enabled the option for changing the display to match the video refresh rate (or whatever the exact name is).
The only add-on's I've installed are the watchdog and I've enabled the MythTV PVR add-on. I've not noticed it skip with myth content playback but I've only tried a couple of TV shows to check it works.
It's not a major issue for me as I have plenty of other PCs to run Kodi, I really got the Chromebox just to play around with and see what it can do/does so if it's a known bug I'm happy to wait it out or if you want me to do anything to test I'm happy to try and help.
I have the same issue and posted my log a few pages back. http://pastebin.com/R97uXCfT
Issue persists whether the file is local or on NFS
