Description
I reinstalled Windows 10 and I can not watch some of my recordings. If I try to play the recording, the playback progress marker displays "0:00" in the middle of the video playback progress bar. Half of the video progress bar is green and the other half is red. A second after playing the recording, SageTV displays a "Would you like to delete: title of recording". If press the REW button on the remote before that message is displayed, the playback progress bar shows negative time. I tried doing a "Rescan Existing Library Files" but it did not fix the problem.
Here is the SageTV log file:
[sagetv_0.zip](https://github.com/google/sagetv/files/194932/sagetv_0.zip)
If I open the recording in Windows Media Player, the recording plays correctly.
If I open the recording in VideoRedo and use the "Quick Stream Fix", this fixes the problem. After restarting SageTV, the outputted video appears on the SageTV "Video" screen.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the attached sagetv_0.zip log and comparing an affected recording's behavior in SageTV with Windows Media Player and VideoRedo. Done means affected recordings play normally in SageTV without the incorrect progress display, negative time, or deletion prompt.
