<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have a HDTV setup with both firewire and a pcHDTV3k card
providing transport streams. I frequently move recorded programs to my
fileserver by just moving and renaming them to program_name.ts . These files
played fine in mythtv under “Watch Recordings” but as soon as I try
and play them back with mythvideo’s internal player I can’t
seek/ffw/rw. No matter what I hit it just restarts from the beginning of the
file, though it displays the correct total time of the program. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Did some research and found out about mythcommflag –rebuild
–video /full/path/to/program_name.ts (tried with and without rebuild, I
think it’s redundant though)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>After running mythcommflag the program is listed as being
6-7 minutes long and some shows will let me skip forward a reported minute at a
time, but which corresponds to roughly 1/6<sup>th</sup> of the program or
around 20 minutes of real time. Some only go about 1/3<sup>rd</sup> of the way
through then refuse to skip forward, only backwards. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What can I do make these files have correct seektables in
mythtv? It works after being recorded initially, but every time I try and
recreate it with mythcommflag it never works properly. Tried use video as a
timebase option, not sure if it’s relevant, but I would guess not since
it had zero apparent effect. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I was using xine, mplayer, and vlc but then I found out
about the internal player. With all of the massive improvements done over time
mythtv is now my preferred transport stream player. I never go above 50% usage
on an amd64 3400+ with bob deinterlace, where as all the other players struggle
with any deinterlacer. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
