<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I have been having an issue where playback of recorded shows will stop, usually right around the title sequence, and will return me to the "Recorded Programs" list. I tried looking through the lists to see if this problem has been found and fixed, and was not able to find a solution. I did find two other posts (from 2004) but neither seemed to have any replies:<div>1) <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/61928?search_string=playback;#61928">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/61928?search_string=playback;#61928</a></div><div>2) <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/71233?nohighlight=1#71233">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/71233?nohighlight=1#71233</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>From searching through the googles, I found mentions of running m<i>ythcommflag --rebuild -f <filename> </i>to rectify a bad seektable and this is what was returned:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
