Hi Steven, Yes, that will be my last resort method. Thing is I don't
think it's necessary as I don't think the actual seek table values get
updated. Makes sense because the files are seekable but just have wrong
durations. I think the fix is in recordedmarkup but need to figure out
how to generate correct values. Reason I think this is I noticed the
files rebuilt had new rows in recordedmarkup. If we can work out the
correct values then a real fast sql patchup would do the trick much
faster than mythcommflag.
