Thanks for the lead. I noticed that that patch has been committed so I
double checked my mythtranscode.cpp for good measure and found that I
am indeed running the "patched" version of mythtranscode. I still get
this error. I have noticed that it only occurs when using
"--honorcutlist." I still had the mythtranscode binary from r24517
which did work previously, so I tried using the older binary and still
got the same error. Could the problem be in the way mythtranscode gets
the cutlist from the database?
