In the past when I have had a file like this,
running "mythcommflag<br>
--rebuild" on a recording has usually fixed it.
That trick may only<br>
work for older similar problems, but it is worth
trying. I have a<br>

<p>I just went in to check "The Good Doctor" from last night. It
started playing from the beginning and no issues. When I went into
edit mode and loaded the commercial cut list it should 4 or 5 of
them. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it seems normal to me.
Mine was recorded from ABC 11 in Raleigh-Durham, NC using a HDHR
Connect tuner. Shield TV frontend was v30-983.<br>
