Sounds like a broken seektable. Run optimize_mythdb.pl (from the
contrib directory) and then set it up to run in a daily cron job. If it
repairs the recordedseek table, you'll have to run "mythcommflag
--rebuild" once for /each/ recording that's affected (i.e. in which you
can't skip forward/backwards). Then, if you also want commercials
flagged in the just-fixed show, you'll have to run "mythcommflag"
without the "--rebuild" argument (or just "mythcommflag --all"). See
"mythcommflag --help" for more.
Note, for your HDTV shows, you may have to use something like:
mythtranscode --buildindex --chanid <CHANID> --starttime <STARTTIME>
(replace <CHANID> and <STARTTIME> with appropriate values). Again, see
the "mythtranscode --help" output for more.
