 mythcommflag gives a large number of

 2007-09-02 20:02:50.353 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error
 [mpeg2video @ 0xb7431b68]current_picture not initalized

 on firewire streams captured on a comcast cable box. The commerical
 marking on these streams are very unreliable. These particular streams are
 from extended basic sd digital channels (fx,usa, comedy central, ..) which
 are encrypted. However, the captured mpeg transport streams play perfectly
 well in myth. OTA streams captured in the same way don't have this
 problem.

 My thought is that mythcommflag is not using the same codec as the myth
 native player. I can't really tell what mythcommglag is using. I can say
 that the mythfrontend uses

 AFD: Opened codec 0x8da0310, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video)

 for these.

 I can provide sample stream segments if requested.
