[mythtv-users] no seektable; rebuild doesn't work.

[Shadowfirebird]

I'd already tried the optimise script, sorry -- should have said.

George, I would never have thought the full-pathname thing would have worked
in a million years -- but it did!  I don't understand why, and it seems like
a horrible bug to me, but frankly, I don't care.

Ian, I'll try your fix too on another file, and report back (once I can get
access to the TV.  Wimbledon week is not helping my maintenance schedule: my
partner is a tennis addict.)

So you think you can tell heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you
tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think
you can tell?
