Hi Jonno,
I've had this in the past. It tends to be seek table corruption.
to fix it, (it may take some time)
Stop mysql
run myisamchk *|--silent --force --fast --update-sta|*te
*|/|/path/to/mythconverg/*|/.MYI|*
restart mysql
run mythcommflag --rebuild --all
Thats how I fixed it last time. I'm not sure about the mythcommflag
command line though.
Regards
Ian
