I doubt 0.26+ has fixed anything--I haven't heard about any progress in
that regard. commflagging got completely broken in 0.25. It used to work
nearly perfectly in 0.24, but something changed in 0.25 and now I'm lucky
if it catches 1 out of 5 breaks. I also had to prevent it from running
while the recording was occurring, otherwise it errored out with an
end-of-file, apparently some old latent race condition that has only now
manifested itself. There is reason for hope, though. Somebody (Stuart M?)
was collecting samples of shows from mythtv users around the world to test
the commflagger. But that's been 6 months or so ago. I don't know what's
going on with it now.
