I recently recorded a TV show that lasts for an hour, but when I start playback the OSD shows that the show is 3:43:26 long. When I first jump ahead, mythtv seeks to 2:43:26. The playback is normal, but the time is offset by this hour and 43 minutes and seeking is very slow. There is nothing relevant in the logs as far as I can tell.

Most likely your seektable for that recording is messed up.
Run mythcommflag --rebuild on the file (I think you can also run
commflagging from the info menu under Watch Recordings as well)
