Seektables will need to be rebuilt as needed, using "mythcommflag
--rebuild". Pre-0.27 seektables map frame numbers to file offsets for
keyframes to enable relatively accurate seeking to a specific frame number,
but do nothing to help with accurate position and duration information, nor
to help map timecodes to frame numbers for accurate time-based seeking.
0.27 adds a mapping from keyframe frame numbers to timecodes (using linear
interpolation for non-keyframes), which is used for accurate seeking and
position/duration display.
One caveat is that seeking/position/duration aren't yet working properly
for audio-only recordings, since there are essentially no video frames to
sync to.
