Playback error
I have a problem where the playback of an episode will jump back minutes between the app closing and the next time I open it. When I try to scan to the point I was last listening to the player won't allow me to skip forward.

Regarding this issue, playback is handled by the device built-in player, not by the app. If the device doesn’t fully support the file encoding, changing the playback position might behave erratically, which seems to be what’s you’re facing. There’s nothing I can do to fix this. Only a ROM update might help increasing the media file compatibility of your device.
In the meantime playing those with a 3rd party player like VLC or MX Player might help because they are using their own engine.

Just in case OP still reads here: I think the problem you are describing is already fixed; you have to activate the "Fix resume playback" feature in the options for the player.
I also had the problem that playback sometimes resumed to an earlier position, even in different podcast apps and also after factory resets, so the problem seems to be the internal music player. Podcast addict is the first app I found which seems to offer an fix for this, at least I hope so (today is the first time I saw it, so I cannot yet say for sure).
@Xavier: Could you explain what you tried to fix with that option, the description is a bit vague.
