Doing a bit more investigation, flac track length appears to have broken in
the big Nov. 26 mythmusic patch. A rollback to CVS from Nov. 25 reads
track lengths again (and once they're in the db, they stay there). It
looks as though some of the code didn't make it from flacdecoder.cpp into
metaioflacvorbiscomment.cpp
So if you upgraded your system, it probably depends when you first imported
the track.
Are developers reading here, or should I cc mythtv-dev?
Thanks.
