Got a broken DB? Sounds a /lot/ like the symptoms of having a bad
seektable.
My recommendation is to run optimize_mythdb.pl and record a new 2-hours+
recording and test with that.
If the new recording works, you'll need to fix the seektable on any
"broken" recording. If you're capturing with an analog source,
"mythcommflag --rebuild" (with the appropriate arguments to specify
which recording to rebuild) should work nicely. If you're using a
digital source, you might have to try "mythtranscode --buildindex" (with
appropriate arguments...). And, even that might not work.
The easiest approach, though, is to delete the broken recordings and
re-record, if possible.
