If this is happening specifically on HD recordings, it could be
the recording has differing framerates on commercials versus show
content.  This would cause the commercial flagger's "stay 30 seconds
behind live" check to fail because the framerate is inconsistent and
the flagger doesn't know exactly where it is so it overruns 'live'
and hits EOF.  Two ways to fix this would be to change the flagger to
stay X frames behind live or to extend the newly added code that stores
changing frame sizes in the recordedmarkup table to also store info
about when the frame rate changes.
