Playstart property is not precise enough?

I'm trying to add chapter support to videos, so a user can select from a number of chapters that have various start times in a video. I use the "playstart" property of the Content Metadata to set the time the video should start playing. However I noticed it's not as accurate as I want. It appears to find the closest keyframe in the video and start there instead. I understand why that would happen, but was hoping the player would workaround that somehow. I'm using roVideoScreen for this and playing a solid MP4 file.
