I would normally agree with you on fast forward - digital media players have always had awful fast forward performance (sometimes even locking up or crashing), to the point that I've conditioned myself to never use it. But, it's really quite good on Kodi (when it works), like a 30gb MKV played over the network can fast-forward at 8X with totally smooth and fluid motion on a Chromebox!
But yes, I'm more inclined to skip as well - but I see the corruption when skipping, too. Normally it's like the first decoded frame doesn't have all the necessary data, and part of the image will be corrupted or offset, and this eventually corrects in a half second or so. Happens maybe 40-60% of the time. Doesn't happen at all with CPU rendering, though.
