Hi,
Has anybody used captive NTFS on drives use for capturing? I have been playing with it, but the performance is not acceptable at all. My playback and captures jump randomly, and sometimes are completely uunwatchable. I am running Knoppymyth (latest). The box is a 2400XP/256/PVR250/Nvidia. I know there is more then enough horsepower there. I realize capturing to NTFS is a stupid idea, as you should always use a native FS for Write access, however the drive came out of my windows machine, with a large collection of movies already on it. Without buying a drive, and backing up all the movies to cdrom, I'm not sure how else to tackle it. Any ideas? Any performance tips?
Is there enough free space on the drive? Perhaps you can resize the partition and create a Linux friendly partition to move the movies into that partition. If this is possible, you can then wipe the NTFS partition.
On completely un-related note, is there a site, faq, something that explains creating modules for myth? Is it hard? I have a couple ideas for modules. Foremost, I'd like to see the tight integration of torrents into myth. I know there is a torrent module already, but i don't think it address my desires. I'd really like to see a module like TVT-RSS for Windows, that allows for the scheduling/monitoring of torrents from sites like tvtorrents.. So I can say "If You can't record the O.C at 9pm, check Tvttorrents, and see if you can download it". As well, I'd like to use .torrent for the distribution of my recordings. That way, I could wake up in Toronto, and have downloaded last nights local news from my box at home in Vancouver, all via bandwidth saving bit torrent.
I hope you are wearing an asbesto overcoat.
Thanks,
Ian
