For those who have updated, if you notice that your old
(pre-UTC-upgrade) recordings are missing seek tables (easy to check by
hitting EDIT (E) during playback, and if it doesn't start the editor and
says, "No Seektable"; or by attempting to skip commercials by hitting
SKIPCOMMERCIAL (Z or End), and if it says, "Not Flagged" you probably
lost yours) you can recover the seek and commercial data by running
mythcommflag --rebuild on each recording and then running mythcommflag
on each recording.
The only data that's not automatically re-creatable that you would lose
are bookmarks.
Note that you may or may not have lost any seek/commercial data,
depending on when your "daily cleanup" run occurs in relation to when
you updated to post-UTC-change MythTV.
