Good point. Strange we haven't stumbled on it before...

To be clear: mythfrontend does handle this (somehow). This is an external  
3rd party script and not condoned, sanctioned or supported by the devs -  
they're getting enough flak for other people's f**k-ups at the moment!

I'm heading out now but maybe we could try & catch these ffmpeg  
hangs/failures & restart it.
