I'm testing with this disabled now to see if it makes any difference. The recording plays fine, but even left over-night, commflag never gets past the searching for logo stage. Further, there doesn't seem to be any way to stop mythcommflag. ""Pause"" and ""Stop"" in the job queue does nothing. It's not possible to delete the job from the job queue.... and worse, it's not possible to delete the recording from within mythfrontend as it says it's in use by commercial flagging. Killing the process, or mythbackend, just re-starts the job the next time it comes up. Now I have a queue of 26 commercial flagging jobs backed up after ""Top Gear"" and no way to stop the offending job apart from removing the recording from the filesystem. I can upload a portion of the recording if required, just let me know how much and where. " defect closed minor 0.24 MythTV - Mythcommflag Master Head medium Works for me 0
