  5. is anyone here in the UK still using #MythTV?
    my ancient server went bang, and I'm trying to rebuild, but finding a compatible dbv-t solution seems really hard.

    all my old cards are incompatible with my new motherboard.

    MythTV wiki page on compatible hardware looks … kind of abandoned?

  7. I don't know if it's #Debian 11, or my hardware, or because my house is under a wicked spell, but if I switch my "tv" away from my "tv server" it now disables that display and doesn't enable it if you switch back. nothing less than a reboot seems to do that.

    Still don't have anything like a working #mythtv. after all that work – debian 11, latest mythtv – it's the same. so I suppose a cap must have popped on the motherboard or something; that's all I have left (unless wicked spell, which…)

  9. #HiveMind:

    I'm looking for suggestions for a #USB #infrared receiver compatible with #LIRC. Everything I can find seems to be a big clunky box on the end of a long cable, but I'm looking for something tiny with the sort of form-factor of the bluetooth dongle in this picture (but obviously IR rather than BT!)

    Any recommendations gratefully received! Thank you!

    Hrm. Hasn't recorded anything in two weeks. I should check into that.

    Really, we don't use it anywhere near as often as we used to, but the box is still very useful.

  12. Today's discovery while migrating my #MythTV backend from #CentOS 7 to #Rocky 9... EL9 doesn't ship any DVB drivers, so looks like I'm recompiling the kernel :(

  13. Recently updated the #GNOME Shell extensions I wrote to support GNOME 45 #SelfPromotion.

    #PiHole status
    extensions.gnome.org/extension

    #MythTV status
    extensions.gnome.org/extension

    Although I now see someone has done a somewhat better Pi-Hole extension now, so maybe use that? Imma have to up my game.

  15. @davidnjoku In the US, broadcast TV is quite good. There are almost no commercial interruptions anymore and the ads that run between shows are typically just advertising the shows themselves, not the annoying ads from big corps like Pepsi.

    So #mythTV is the champ. Not sure how the counts in your poll because it effectively converts linear to on-demand, though of course the selections they decide to run is limited.

    When in Europe, I don’t even have a TV nor have I setup any kind of TV feed to the PC. It would probably not have much English programming anyway, so I would probably need a dish if I were motivated.

  17. @soc_i_ety @Free_Press Broadcast TV has improved quite a bit lately along with broadcast radio. I suspect the need to compete w/online options has forced them to cut back on commercial ads. So I run #mythTV (a #FOSS DVR) which records broadcast TV. Commercials tend to only run after a show ends w/out interrupting the program. And if they decide to inject mid-program commercials, mythTV can detect & remove

  21. Today my database turned 18 years old 😲

    It's now old enough to vote for what we record and watch!

    Long live linear TV and timestretch! 📺

  22. I may also replace my #MythTV and some other services with #Jellyfin, but I don't see anything that says Jellyfin's #SyncPlay will do what I'm after (especially with the fairly precise synchronization).

    Also thank you @CarlCravens for originally suggesting the SlimServer to me way back when!

  24. The old mythtv box is a gigabyte A88X mini-itx board with the biggest baddest A10-7890K!

  25. @hgrsd yes, compiling everything on a Celeron 300 was excruciatingly slow, but having complete control over what was installed allowed me to reduce the memory and cpu utilization to the point where it could at least play SD recordings.
    I basically needed a window manager just to automatically launch #MythTV so I picked the one that seemed the most lightweight. I may have switched to #ArchLinux soon thereafter, because it gave me control without the pain of compiling everything.

  27. @hgrsd hey, I had to eek all the power I could out of the Celeron system I used for the kids’ #MythTV front end to get it to run smoothly, so #Gentoo and #ratpoison WM were pretty much required.

  29. @deutrino @jpmens @annika #Kodi is #Cloudflare-compromized, so it wouldn’t exactly be in the spirit of jpmens’ stance. OTOH #MythTV is well within bounds of the free world (though I admit it’s not the same thing as Kodi).

  30. #introduction I'm a #guitar playing techie that writes a lot of #terraform these days. I'm a well versed daily user of #aws, #linux, #git, #github, #nvim, #zsh.

    I also use #opnsense and #mythtv at home, love playing #overwatch.

    I have a family with a lot of #dogs.
