If you play it till the first advert break, then skip forward, then the seek process will jump back a few minutes. almost like the video is playing back faster than a counter that the seek system uses.  AV sync is fine. I've asked about this specific problem maybe a year ago and iirc was sugested to rebuild the seek table but that gave no solution. i think the thread died after that.

If that feeling is true, restores would obviously carry the problem forward. I know the db carrys a number of tables related to channel config so manually cleaning does have a good chance of missing something in the cleanup op and causing further issues.

Just tested. No seeking or playback issues with myth30 using 
MPEG-2ffmpeg playback. Recommend checking the tuning parameters against
