Ok ... It seems now that it only happens with a few recordings ...
I can watch them or play them at 3X the speed ; anything faster than
that and mythfrontend will hang forever.

Interestingly ; even though the recording is only about 30 minutes
long ; mythtv show them as being 18+ hours

for some reasons ; it seems obvious the database entry for those
recordings is corrupted...

the PC did crash earlier today and I had to hard-reset it (holding the
