For Lossless Cut to collect the most accurate metadate about the recording both record pairs must be present. I do not know of any circumstance where a MythTV recording only adds the "recorded" record without its "recordedprogram" pair. That seems to be an error of some kind outside of anything Lossless Cut is involved with.

It's naught but idle curiosity but I wonder what info it is trying to pull from recordedprogram that is not in recorded?
