[mythtv-users] can't play old recordings

[Jack McGee]

Long story but it was the weekend from hell, consumed by trying to 
rescue computers trying to anger me.
started with a freenas server (hosting some of my recordings, all my 
music and videos)  that lost power, did something bad to the raid, and 
went into random reboot mode.  Course I  did not immediately know this 
and left my combined FE/BE running, mad that it would keep hanging.  
I'll cut to the chase.

I rescued some files from the recording directory on failed raid, copied 
them to another drive, mounted that, added it to storage groups.  I 
would assume myth would find the recordings, but it has not.  Says it 
cannot find the recording.  If I hit "I" I find the file name, and it 
exists on that new drive.

So I copied it to video directory, thinking I would watch it as a Video.

I cannot skip forward or backwards at all.  It will hang.  I can play, 
pause, that is about it.

#1) Why is myth not seeing the recordings,
#2) Why does mythvideo not like to play them?
this is  trunk from JYA repository, Ubuntu 10.04.

thanks.
