Comment (by optimus1979@…):

 Here's another:

 I am not using an external script (unless that is something MythBuntu has
 by default) I do use the stb-command script to power on the cable box when
 the PC starts as I found that in previous MythTV versions recordings would
 fail because the box would take too long to power on or drop numbers from
 the channel number when changing channels if the cable box wasn't on
 before the recording started. But I do not use the stb-command script to
 change channels. I have been using a similar setup for since 2008 and
 never had recordings that wouldn't play under mythtv until .28. Another
 note that may or may not be useful is at the problem recordings play under
 ffplay (ffmpeg 2.8.6) which I had installed to test but not using mythplay
 (ffmpeg 3) that I read .28 now uses.
