Hello everyone, it's Riddlebox. Sorry it's been so long since I've done a podcast. Today
|
||
|
|
I'm going to tell you about my kind of sort of home DVR setup that I have at the moment.
|
||
|
|
This isn't another show talking about Myth TV. This is a little bit different. The Myth TV
|
||
|
|
project is a great project. I used to use Myth TV until something happened to my Myth TV
|
||
|
|
backend server and I lost all the tuner cards which can get very expensive to replace.
|
||
|
|
That's why I looked at another solution. And the solution that I found that works great
|
||
|
|
for me is a program called TED or Torrent Episode Downloader. It's a Java app that you
|
||
|
|
can download from TED.nu. You just download a, I think it's a tar.gz file or is it file
|
||
|
|
one of the two and extract that to a folder. I put it in my home directory and you can
|
||
|
|
put it wherever you want. And then you just change directory into that folder and you
|
||
|
|
issue command Java-jar-ted.jar-space-no-tray and no-tray spelled lowercase-no-capital-t-r-a-y.
|
||
|
|
You hit enter and the TED interface will come up and you can basically click on Add
|
||
|
|
Show and it will come up with a list of the popular shows I guess you could say or maybe
|
||
|
|
shows that people have put in there that the TED developers have thought were very good
|
||
|
|
and worthwhile. So you can scroll through it, you can search through a show, you can even
|
||
|
|
add a custom show. And when you, when you, I'll click on 30 back here, when you select
|
||
|
|
a show it even brings up like tv.com listing of the show telling the next time it'll air
|
||
|
|
and you can tell it to just record the next episode or you can tell it to record the last
|
||
|
|
aired episode or even custom episode which is good when you want to say get a whole season.
|
||
|
|
You can just go through select custom episode and choose the different seasons that it allows.
|
||
|
|
There is an option to download it in HD quality. I don't do it because you know the quality
|
||
|
|
is pretty good anyway. It's got extras in the extra folder that you can set up your
|
||
|
|
torrent you know how often you want it to search for new episodes where you want it to
|
||
|
|
download to how you know the torrent you select the most seeders or the ratio you want.
|
||
|
|
I did have an issue where I had to go in. I was getting a lot of files that didn't work.
|
||
|
|
So I had to go in and I had to check do not download files with these extensions. Zip,
|
||
|
|
RAR or R01 and R01 and then I select do not download torrents from private trackers
|
||
|
|
and then I also made sure the automatic episode scheduler was on and basically this thing
|
||
|
|
runs on a WN server that I have in my basement. I put Samba on that WN server and I set up a
|
||
|
|
guest share and my Blu-ray players can both read Samba shares so I just fire up my Blu-ray
|
||
|
|
player go to my share folder and I select my episodes. Sometimes they can put them in different
|
||
|
|
folders and stuff so you have to kind of keep an eye on them but it is pretty nice you can
|
||
|
|
just scroll right through them and hit a bunch of them that you want. So it's a very good
|
||
|
|
program and that's my episode for today. Thank you.
