Really appreciate the history I dropped out of these types of things in the 90s when running on windows. Anyone remember Microsoft Phone the pots wireless version?!
Are you using handbrake to rip? If so what are your preferred settings?
PS: what if you could just drop a disk into a drive and it auto ripped to channels? This is what I am thinking about!
Edit.
Totally agree with you on the picture quality comparison. Picture is sharper on the network encoder devices.
I have been re-watching some nature documentaries I originally watched with 2.0 audio recorded with channels dvr. I re-recorded them with 5.1 audio on my nextpvr server and I must say the sound adds immensely to the overall experience. I will stick to the network encoder for sports though. If only they would release a firmware that can do audio pass through.

Amazing info. So reboot Colossus device every X hours?
Edit
Correct me if I am wrong that that degrading due to memory leak was for the colossus 1 devices. I dont recall it being an issue for the colossus 2 devices. Also it was an issue for windows installs as well. I dont recall where it was the case with linux.

Excellent! Appreciate everyone today! Lots of grey beards out there?
Edited
That will work. I sorta meant Unix grey beards?
Edit
All good. For anyone following a unix grey beard might be categorized as:
A Unix greybeard is an aging Unix hacker with an impressive Unix beard that has turned grey. They are known for their knowledge of theoretical computer science, arcane Unix, and complete inability to use a remotely contemporary computer.
Unix greybeards started with Unix/BSD/Linux in the 70s/80s/90s and had very hard-won experience and expertise. They hate systemd and fork distributions.
EDIT: I dont really hate systemd but GPT4 does and my beard is not so epic.
Update: got the card in but running into some issues connecting the cmd stdout to a gin reader. Hopefully have something soon!
Update 2: It's working! If anyone else wants to test please let me know!
I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to launch Haystack News from adb. I figured some app launches on my own (like The Weather Channel app and Paramount+), but can't seem to figure out how to launch Haystack. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My url's i set up for streaming Spectrums watch.spectum.net. I would like to know how I can stream the browser to my HDMI encoder and command the url's in browser but stream from the HDMI encoder. The forum mentions only how to intigrate with a android device. Would like some directions on how to do this with Windows. If I can get this working decently I could setup stream for some of the channels not supported by TVE. I already experimented steaming the browser through the encoder via Channels DVR and its flawless. Just need to know how to command the url's in windows browser. The NBC app quality is awfull. Unfortunately Spectrum doesn't have a android app and the sideloads are not any better don't play in the correct aspect format. Thanks
What does the result of this command show?
adb shell pm list packages | grep hay
package:com.haystack.android
I did try adb -s 192.168.1.135 shell am start -am com.haystack.android which of course gave me the Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=com.haystack.android flg=0x10000000 }. That is surely because I don't yet understand android and packages and intents. I am going about this kind of through a trial and error process to learn. Hopefully what I learn here will help me with other apps I'd like to start.
