You’re not trying hard enough

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…
