Your other replies may not have allowed for this file being in nuv/mp3 <br>
format. It's many years since I saw a file like that and I don't know <br>
the state of MythTV's support for it now. Maybe vlc could play it.<br>
<br>
And IIRC playback isn't usually dependent on the seektable - it's mainly <br>
used to help seeking.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The nuv format file was produced by the default behavior of myth's transcode. <br></div><div>Why do you say you are unsure of myth's support for it?</div><div><br></div><div>Some of the jumping around behavior I saw when trying to watch without a seek table suggested it was important for basic viewing, but it may have been other things that caused the trouble.
