I now have 3 fully functional domains. This is probably the longest span that I’ve ever had Linux running on a machine. There’s no content, so loading potential is unknown, but that’s another bridge to hang from…
Linux is only free if your time is worthless.
The NTFS partition on my HTPC/Server thing shit the bed.
I formatted the primary drive. It’s all openSUSE all the time now. I still have the storage drives isolated because I have no trust in linux as a file server due to windows interaction. NTFS support and SAMBA are sore spots to me, I know they work 97% now, but I have a habit of dragging out that last 3.
Where is this incoherent rant going? MythTV! This is now my 4th attempt at Myth. It’s name really fits. I think I almost have it at this point. I have the IR controller working to change channels on the shitty Comcast box, I have the capture cards seemingly working. Tonight after work I can test it to see if they work together. I currently have the backend running without any verbose errors. I have no idea if it works or not. It simply haunts me with the ever present:
AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 0.0 GB w/freq: 15 min
I think if I can make it record shows I’m through the woods. Then I have to worry about scheduling and the transcoding, but I think they are minor.
Oh, and I have to figure out a way to get it to pass the RAF (Roomate acceptance factor.) Back in the Windows Media Center days the 360 did a great job of it. I’m hoping to leverage UPnP for viewing, but live TV is also required. I may have to break down and get an extra cable box.
I wonder if the A180 will actually work.
Now I need content for SitA…
