[mythtv] DB Error (blank frame list insert) and ERROR:file I/Oproblem in 'safe read'

[Thor Johnson]

As far as I can tell, the error message is a non-issue.
(At least for the recorded table.  I'm not sure what a
"blank frame list insert" does [then again, I'm really new
at this])

I get that message if I abort mythbackend during a recording 
and restart it. It notices that there's a program scheduled, 
so it fires off a recorder which puts data into the database
(fails because it already did that), and appends to the file.

Unfortunately, I think the file is corrupt at this point.  
I'm not sure how easily fixable it would be (lack of ff/rew
indicates the seek table is bad, but I don't know how to 
rebuild it...)

How often do you get these errors?

When I changed codecs and wanted to get copies of shows I had
before, I did ran "delete * from oldrecorded".
