Can't hurt.

In mythtv-setup, go to the first menu entry, then the page that talks
about user jobs. Add the following job:
Description:
Rebuild Seektable
User Job:
mythtranscode -c %CHANID% -s %STARTTIME% -k -b -m -v
important,general --showprogress
(The above on one line, of course)
Now, in mythfrontend, Watch Recordings|Job Options will show "Begin
Rebuild Seektable" as an option. Like the built-in jobs, this can be
applied to a single recording or (through playlists) multiple
recordings. Hint: It's possible to add every existing recording to the
playlist at once with just three clicks (by my count).
How I learned about the existence of the feature that shows customer
User Jobs to mythfrontend's menus:

What the %codes% in the user-job line mean:
