That was only half in jest. I’m in the entertainment industry and I know what’s possible😉
But the limitation of 30 sec is the problem.

I don’t follow. You want it to be more?
Enter the curl command from terminal, a command line on a PC, or after SSH into your NAS and use the ip address of your Synology in place of x.x.x.x
See their support articles to get an idea of what setting you're overriding, Global Client Playback Seek Forward Duration
And if you're not sure it will work, just ask @NetworkGuy I'm pretty sure he's not on the Ad Council 
A tip here for newbies attempting to do this. I spent the longest time in my NAS browser interface looking for a terminal command. I was able to enable SSH in the options but could not find the terminal. Then I realized that what I needed to do on my Mac was to open Terminal and enter the commands there to change the settings in the Channels app on the Synology.
Root access was not needed luckily, and hopefully one of us won’t screw something up by overriding this simple setting on an otherwise great piece of software.
For us tennis fans watching a recorded match in a hurry, seek forward 15 seconds is too short and 30 is too long. (Serving clock gives 24 seconds to players between points). If I curl this command with "20" into the server, seeking forward will be 20 for every client, every video (movies, sports) every time, even if I select 15 or 30? The "20" option does not show up as such in the seek menu... Thanks.

We really should be able to customize the skip times to our own requirements in the client, Period. -Bill
