Not sure if this is a related concept, but it would also if I could
delete a recording that is being commercial flagged.
The other day my wife tried to delete a recording and it kept saying
something like' Unable to delete - in use' if I recall.
The backend status showed mythcommflag was stuck at 99%. I let it wait
for another hour and it was still stuck at 99%.
Trying to stop the comm flag via mythweb did not work. I had to login
and kill the mythcommflag task. Only after that could I delete
the recording.
Ideally, deleting a recording should notify any associated in progress
comm flag to abort so the delete can complete.
