i record a good bit from iptv (web) sources. i have this a lot, i set
up a user job to just let ffmpeg remux it with copy audio and video no
encoding. so it takes less than a minute.  i used the variables for
user jobs to work on the correct file in storage. but the basic ffmpeg
is use is   ffmpeg -i xxxx.ts -c copy t.ts  where xxxxx is the path and
name of the recording. next step remove myth recording xxxxx.ts and
finally mv t.ts to the myth recording name. then the seek table is
correct. if i had a commercial skips sometimes i have to do those over
also and i have 3 user jobs with different ini files for comskip which
i use instead of mycommflag. 



you can test with a recording and see if it works for you
