I think I've checked everything about this and it should be fine.
After all, the remote backend can play recordings just fine, so it
shouldn't have problems accessing the database.

I've just been through all the tables in the database and made sure
that the only two hostnames that appear are the server's and the
frontend's.

The crazy thing is that when looking at the recorded programs list on
the frontend, files that have had their commercials flagged display
the $$ icon right. I've mythcommflagged --rebuild all of my
recordings, and the data is there (in recorded and recordedseek).
I've digged a bit into the code and I think that there's something
preventing the hasFullPositionMap variable to be set correctly.

Me neither... thanks anyway for all your help.
Right now I'm giving up.
