Something strange happened during testing this morning.   I recorded a
program last night on CBS with commercial flagging turned on as a post
processing job.

This morning I used mythfrontend to correct some of the flagging mistakes
and then saved the cut list.  I was planning on watching it with Leanfront,
but started to watch it with mythfrontend. this is version
v32.0+fixes.202209121203.b6ef30288f~ubuntu22.04.1

I had an issue at 45 minutes into the 60 minute recording where the
playback processed the commercial skip fine, but it got stuck coming out of
the commercial.  It had a black screen and audio noise loop over and over.
I skipped forward and then backed it up just after the skip started and it
played.

This made me wonder about what others had said about leanfront getting
stuck about 2/3 into a recording playback?

I'll try this on leanfront v0-381 and see what happens at that exact time.

The other strange thing is that I went to mythfrontend settings to turn off
commercial skipping in video playback and it was already turned off.  So
how did it even skip commercials in the first place??
