fast forward in video player

[reach]

Hi there!
I'm starting to realize the advantages of apps designed for modernUI, hence I'm using the Win8 on-board player for video playback.
The issue I'm having is, that I'm missing the possibility to skip or move back just a few seconds. like the (3rd party) player on my iPad allowed. I just had to swipe the finger to skip for example the intro of my favourite series.
This is really an issue for me, I'm using it for watching videos a lot.
Any recommendations how I could do that on my SP2?

Thx!

VLC Player has the ability to easily skip forwards and backwards with shortcuts so hopefully this feature will be retained when the metro version finally releases.

VLC for Windows 8 passes Microsoft's certification but without its audio output - Neowin
