Thanks I changed all my rules and templates to exclude transcoding and
to include the seektable rebuild job.
I'm now wondering ik commflagging will work correctly, for I have it
starting directly. Future will tell.
I'm also thinking of replacing the transcode command with a script
that first does a seektable rebuild before the transcoding and that
outputs the errorcode from the transcoding.
Something like:

#!/bin/bash
declare Filename=$1
if [ "$FileName" == "" ]; then
   exit 1
fi
/usr/bin/mythcommflag --rebuild -f $FileName

/usr/bin/transcode $FileName
exit $?

Do I have to add more? I'm not familiar with what transcode passes on
to the commandline.
