Your recordedmarkup table is corrupt.  To fix:

    1) run the optimize_mythdb.pl script (from the contrib directory of 
the MythTV source distribution)
    2) set up the optimize_mythdb.pl script to run in a daily cron job 
as described in the comments at the top of the script
    3) run "mythcommflag --rebuild" on /every/ recording for which 
seeking doesn't work properly.
    4) if desired, run "mythcommflag" on recordings you would like to 
flag for commercials (must be done in a separate step from the rebuild 
in step 2)
