Hmm, I found a thread in the archive which mentioned using mythcommflag
--video, so I tried that.  Now I can skip through the video, but the
progress meter is very confused.   It thinks an hour show is 59 seconds
long.  Skipping ahead seems to skip by 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds, and
skipping back seems to skip by seven minutes instead of seven seconds.  But
on the bright side it's not locking up.
