[mythtv] Ticket # 4341, was: Why doesn't MythVideo's Video Manager run mythcommflag?

[faginbagin]

First, I want to thank Stuart and Chris for the background on my 
original question. It sounds like the issue is understood and will 
probably be addressed at some point in time.

Second, an update and an offer to help. At first, I thought that running 
mythcommflag --video was the fix to my internal player lockups. Not so. 
It's not as bad as it was, but lock ups still do happen. Since it's a 
problem that I can easily reproduce (using an imported vob which has no 
seek tables), I was thinking I might be able to help.

I'm a software developer who took early retirement and who's enjoying 
the time off. But I don't want to duplicate effort if this particular 
ticket is being actively worked on. It's currently assigned to "ijr" and 
has milestone = unknown. I'm not familiar with Trac (guess that's 
another thing to learn), so I'm guessing that maybe #4341 is not being 
actively worked on. If I'm right, I'll start tinkering. If I'm wrong, 
I'll work around the deadlocks as I'm doing now (kill mythfrontend and 
restart it).

Should I start tinkering?
