For some years now, I've been using mythtranscode in --fifodir mode,<br>
often running it several times on the same recording to transcode<br>
different parts. All has worked well, until I updated to v 0.28:<br>
now it seems mythtranscode deletes the original file even in --fifodir<br>
mode. Madness! Any way I can stop it doing that?<br>

Known issue, a patch is being worked on.<br>
