[01:16:38] mack: Kodi with the mythtv plugin works well. I hate trying to schedule recordings with it, though. And keep mythfrontend around for some other things.
[01:42:35] Sabotender: i'm not trying to sound as if I'm making trouble, it's just that, every time I think I've got it perfect, another problem pops up. I would like to find some stability. That's all I ask.
[01:46:08] Sabotender: My new hdd arrived and its the last of the set. I am going to clone the 1 to 20, and use the 1TB for live TV and scratch disk, which should alleviate some stress about missing files, hopefully.

[21:11:25] Sabotender: mack: please, would you happen to know which directory mythtv uses as the scratch, because, if I understand this correctly, whenever an episode that has been scheduled, is recording, mythtv writes the data stream from the tuner, to a semi temporary file, which is then copied to the directory that had been set in the Storage Groups. is the LiveTV directory used for scratch?
[21:15:19] mack: yes, live tv storage group
[21:15:42] mack: err, I think. Let me make sure :)
[21:17:02] mack: yes. The table here: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_Storage_Directories
[21:18:17] mack: (it also describes the use of the Default Group)
[21:27:42] Sabotender: Brilliant, thanks! I am reconfiguring these recording and storage groups. I am bind mounting directories in /home/mythtv to bypass any file permision errors such as executable perms
[21:28:49] Sabotender: from there, they will point to my external drives in fstab

[22:34:31] Sabotender: I was just basing the mounted directories in home/mythtv from a comment by a developer
[22:35:37] Sabotender: ... lol I had forgotten something
[23:42:22] Sabotender: For my new drive, I want to take advantage of transcoding videos to save on disk space, in a lossless fashion; does handbrake need a scratch disk?
