This is very puzzling.  Until I upgraded to 0.28 I used the script 
sendTVtonas.sh successfully.  It now will not work because the 
mythtranscode with the -o  option in the script deletes the original 
file.  The script is located at 
https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1261

In 0.27 I could still play the original program.  This I know because I 
just used the mythtv job function to edit the cutlist and run the job 
sendTVtonas 150 times to compress and archive commercial free 6 seasons 
of Hogan's Heroes.
