    Great googly moogly I've solved the kodi conundrum

    Issue: Kodi has Very Specific Naming Conventions. So do I . We do not share these conventions. I refuse to bow to the machine.
    Solution: Symlinks

    Issue: I have a remote fileserver, you cannot UNC hard symlinks
    Solution:Kodi does fine with soft symlinks

    Issue: Symlinks in windows are very different to linux, where they’re more like shortcuts as windows has them hard coded to the kernel. Every single machine running kodi - currently two, lounge and bedroom, possibly a third with the brewery - will need its own symbolic link of every. single. file. on my file server named correct in order to scrape them and show them. My fileserver has 12tb on it.
    Solution: Script written that will ask for a share name in UNC, then drill down every subdirectory and replicate the whole tree symlink form on local machine in directory of choice.

    Issue: Still not in kodi naming convention
    Solution: filebot portable, which is free. Rename symlinks to match TVDB. Original files untouched.

    Issue: faults will occur if source files are moved or renamed
    Solution: I just wrote another friggin’ script that will go through every single symlink and subdirectory and list all that do not resolve in a txt file called broken_links.txt. Run that once a month or so and update as required and I’m dancing.

    Then it’s just upkeep with new symlinks as files/folders added and double checking it scrapes ok.

      Why not just run jellyfin as a service on your remote server, then access that service on each local device?

          Fair enough. I have friends with windows frustrations and I try to convert them to the joy of Linux, but I understand not everyone is in a position to do that. I opened up my jellyfin instance to friends over covid to watch movies together and that was pretty fun.

    Brewed coffee, maybe one spoon isn’t enough for the stovetop coffee, not as strong obviously but lacking some body to it.

    Also in other news the price of the PS5 is to set to increase due to whatever reasoning Sony has given.

    Increase of 70 dollars, makes me wonder if the rest of the tech industry will up their prices as well.

      Nothing wrong with my phone, but i’m already weighing up if the iphone becomes a 2000 dollar phone do I still need one? And if not, do I still need a flagship? Or can I get away with a Pixel a, Galaxy FE or Nothing a. Technically my current non pro iphone isnt a flagship.

        Yup, stovetop moka pot, one full chamber of water is enough for one and a half mugs worth.

        I usually serve it in a bigger mug.

        I use a long armed coffee scoop, 1 and a half coffee grinds usually is enough to keep me awake and also send me into a coffee high so I’ve been experimenting with using less coffee so that it won’t keep me awake and be as strong.

            I just made another one, slightly more coffee grind in the pot.

            How do you know how many shots of coffee you make?

              When I bought mine it said ‘6 shot Mika pot’ on the box 😁

              I just fill it up and assume it’s 6 shots

    Forgot to take the compost bin down last night, woke up to enterprising felines flinging lamb chop bones to the floor. The mishcat is untethered and her craves know no bounds

    Just did another botched job of reversing into a parking space. I’m really stuffing up the initial angle. I’m sure I’ll get better eventually, but at the moment it is pretty nerve wracking.

      Especially with a new car, so terrifying to scrape it. And of course, worried about hitting someone else’s car! My current car is a bit bigger than previous one, and the first month I had it I wasn’t great at parking it, often had to readjust multiple times, even with cameras and sensors. Got sick of it so then I went to a semi empty parking area and reverse parked about 10 times paying attention to how best to line up and when to turn and after that I was ok. Probably looked weird to anyone who saw but I needed to do it.

        Surprisingly most kids were okay. Little bit of altitude sickness for a few which led to a few issues.

        The really fit kids suffered the worst which was odd.

      Old fart comment: I used to know to the minute how long it took to print an essay and bolt to the faculty office before they cleared the essay drop box.

      Midnight online submission? Luxury 😝

      You got this!
