[mythtv-users] myth.rebuilddatabase.pl recovers recordings with truncated playtimes

[JS Boyd]

I used myth.rebuilddatabase.pl to recover some orphaned recordings, but 
when I try to play back those recordings they all have very short 
playtimes even though the file sizes are correct.

For instance, a 59:01 minute show will have a displayed 2:17 length and 
Myth will only play the recording to that truncated length. I notice 
that myth.rebuilddatebase.pl plugs in "endtime" and "progend" database 
fields set to "1969-12-31 17:00:00" on recovered shows, so I fixed 
that... but it did not lengthen the time displayed via "i" during 
playback or the length the program will actually play.

So where is Myth getting the value that determines how long a recorded 
program is?

I have used mythcommflag to rebuild the seek table and that did NOT 
change anything. I suspect that mythcommflag may be the problem, because 
if I copy the files to the "mythvideo" and play them from there, the 
lengths are correct. Of course, seeking does not work or is horribly 
slow and there is no commercial flagging.

Thanks in advance.
