Some background information: these recordings have been made using the
HD-PVR. I had exported them using mytharchive before I upgraded my
system to 0.27.3. I used mytharchive to restore the recording then
attempted to use the lossless_cut script to remove undesired content.
I looked at a few other mytharchive items and it appears the
"recordedprogram" information is not saved. Sounds as if I will not be
able to use the lossless_cut script with any exported/imported recordings.
Thank you to everyone who responded.
