[00:01:14] mack: It would take a database query to match recording filename to title. If I recall correctly, the files are numeric with channel ID and start time code.
[00:01:23] mack: Why the sudden hate on ext4?
[00:01:50] Sabotender: Ah compatibility between operating systems.
[00:02:36] mack: reading and writing directly to disk might not be the best way of doing what ever you're thinking of doing :)
[00:03:35] mack: my myth disks are/were XFS
[00:04:13] Sabotender: at first, I had not even considered using exfat, because it was a super proprietary file system, and support was very spotty. In addition, all of my formatting attempts in windows resulted in failure. That's why I thought it was a rubbishy file system. but just recently, I discovered that it is now open, and support is stable between many/most operating systems.
[00:07:08] mack: most modern operating systems can handle most common filesystems these days – sometimes with more work than others, but still.
[00:07:35] ** Sabotender laughs **
[00:07:45] Sabotender: except for windows. 😛
[00:08:20] mack: i would argue that if you were to want to use your myth disk in another OS, you probably don't want the data and would reformat anyway :)
[00:08:58] mack: Videos storage group, etc, I could see, but not just livetv/recordings.
[00:09:44] Sabotender: hmm. from what you were telling me, it appears that I will need to sort these files manually, before I wipe and reformat. I will temporarily move them to the drive that I'm currently using for livetv
[00:09:54] mack: yeah, windows is getting there with linux things.
[00:10:46] mack: Win 11 supposedly handles ext4 and such, but I don't really care to try Win 11.
[00:12:28] Sabotender: lately, I'm only using when does 11 for gaming, and work related stuff. really do appreciate you giving me this information
[00:16:52] Sabotender: Hehe, I sympathise with your resistance to Windows 11. I only have it, because I could. It's a good story that I'm willing to tell you if you're ever interested to read it.

[00:40:41] mack: I still have a Win 10 partition, and have only had to use it once since I switched back to linux. It was for a piece of crap 20 year old scanner. Supposedly there is a linux driver, but I couldnt make it work. I just took the lose and rebooted to Windows to get my scans.
