It doesn't do this, and it isn't as easy as you might think.  The
problem is that the frame count (which I retrieve from
NuppelVideoPlayer) doesn't seem to give me an exact number of frames
(the final count is often greater than the number returned by nvp).  I
think the right solution is to check the return code (0==all good,
1==cutlist-changed, retry, 255=something bad happened)
Alternatively you could look for 'Transcoding .... done'
As I said, your code should handle the case where the current frame is
larger than the total frame count, as it is possible for this to
hapen.

Yep, I saw this too.  the weird thing is it should have always done
that, as nothing I changed would have affected this (it was trying to
write to the nvr, which isn't initialized properly for fifo-out).  I
have checked in a fix for this.
