[mythtv] Playback starting in middle of stream, despite having no bookmark set

[Jack Perveiler]

Thanks for the reply, Stuart.

I may have found the problem.  It looks like recorded.bookmark should be either
set to 0 or 1... (at least in programinfo.cpp), but I have 3 entries with the
value 127 instead.  That seems odd...

It looks like in dbcheck.cpp, in the upgrade from dbver 1128, bookmark is
defined as TINYINT NOT NULL.  But in the upgrade from dbver 1070 there is a
"UPDATE recorded SET bookmark = NULL WHERE bookmark = 'NULL';"  Maybe people
upgrading from < 1070 to the present have their NULL's converted to 127?  And
maybe consumers of the field don't like that?  Lots of "maybe"s, I know.

I'll do some more research tonight.
