[mythtv] mythtranscode --fifodir removing original file

[Tim Pletcher]

I am running master MythTV Version : v0.28-pre-3578-g96d4686 and attempting
to employ mythtranscode with the --fifodir option to pipe to ffmpeg for
transcoding in a temporary working directory. Everything is working as
expected however the mythtranscode operation appears to remove the original
.ts file after the operation completes. This leaves the database with an
orphan record pointing to a now missing file.  I can work around this by
making a backup of the original, performing the transcode, and then copying
the backup to replace the then missing original file but this is obviously
a clunky solution.

In the brief searching I performed, it looks like this issue with fifodir
was mentioned in the comments associated with issue #12385
<https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12385> but it isn't clear to me if the
patch addressed this aspect.

Has anyone else had this issue or is it user error?
