If this is broken for some, I'd suspect it's due to variable frame-rate
recordings.  The flagger doesn't know about EOF, it just tries to stay about
30 seconds behind real-time by sleeping a little more or less every so often.
It does this by counting frames though, so if the frame rate is not constant,
it can over-run the end of the file.  I believe it would be possible to
update the flagger to detect when it was near the end of the recorded file,
but no one has looked into this yet.
