[mythtv-users] myth.rebuilddatabase.pl recovers recordings with truncated playtimes (SOLVED)

[JS Boyd]

Thank you. That was the key.

The exact command I used to fix these files was:

 > mythtranscode --mpeg2 --buildindex --showprogress --infile 
Recording_File_that_needs_new_seek_table.mpg

The solution is also addressed in this message:

I've attached a shell script to this message to simplify fixing multiple 
files.

Perhaps this should become part of myth.rebuilddatabase.pl
