Is there a Media player that can skip the silent parts of an audio/video?
While watching lectures, it is annoying to be stuck in the real time and going at the same rate of the actual thing, where one can just simply jump into the juicy bits! The pauses in lectures are a complete time waste!

I think that the closest you will get is to use a Media player that shows the waveform of the track you are playing. If this is something you would consider it would be worth looking at foobar2000 as it shows the waveform of the file allowing you to see where the "silent" parts are!
You will need to install the Waveform Seekbar component in addition to the main foobar2000 software to achieve this, the software is incredibly lightweight and i have used before for a similar situation a few years back!

Interesting. Issue is what do you define as silent? Recorded lectures often are very quiet during pauses, but not 100% silent. As Woolnut already said, your best bet is a nice media player that allows you to see the waveform. – Insane – 2015-11-10T09:39:34.870
@Insane assume anything below a certain volume threshold is silence. Of course we can change this value – Arjang – 2015-11-10T09:54:34.643

This is the best you'll get. Pretty easy in Audacity.
