Just a note that skiping like this will work well but on many low end
cpu/gpu it will have many graphics artifacts when you do it as it tries to
restart rendering at the new time position without a full key frame.  Well
coded graphics drivers and video pipeline on decent hardware avoid this.
This is where revo's with nvidia gpu work well as well as many intel
nuc's.  But you have to pay a little more for this feature so see if you
can tolerate it on your current hardware first.

The nucs have come a long way and you don't need the higher end i3-i7
versions to get fully capable intel gpu's now.

This n3050 based nuc is not too expensive and just needs a 2-4GB sodimm and
a sd card added to it to make an ideal frontend.  Has all the hardware
needed built in and if you need more grunt there is a n3700 version
(NUC5PPYH) which is quad core for a little more.

They are also future proof a little doing 4k and HEVC but I can't see much
real use for that right now.
