Il y a 20 ans je venais de recevoir mon tout premier #Mac, un #iMac #G5 et je suivais les #JO depuis mon Mac grâce à #EyeTV, JO qui étais à #Turin. et 20 ans plus tard ils sont de nouveaux en #Italie et je les suis de nouveau depuis mon Mac mais aussi depuis mon iPhone.

Le temps passe SI VITE ! #nostalgie 😔

Old tech. Is this stuff of any use to anyone, or is it all just e-waste? I suspect the latter but it seemed worth asking before it goes for recycling. London, UK. Also a box of cables (network and coax mostly)

Good lord, the 64 bit Mac version of #EyeTV is such a massive #SteamingCoiler. So I've downgraded my ten year old MBP to the last version of the OS that will run 32 bit software, installed the old unmaintained version, and so far it Just Works™.

Plex’s commercial skip for shows recorded from the tuner barely works anymore. It either never offers the option or it offers the skip well into the commercials or worse, in the middle of the program. I may have to revert back to the venerable EyeTV. Its commercial skip wasn’t perfect either but it was never this bad.

#Plex #EyeTV

For years I had to stick with #EyeTV for #OTA broadcasts because it was much more reliable than #Plex. Every so often I’d attempt to record with Plex and it would fail in various ways. A few months ago I tried again and it was working.

Until recently. Two recordings lately were truncated before the end. A 1-hour program only recorded as 23 minutes, and another only recorded 1 second. I suspect the tiniest glitch in transmission causes it to abort the recording instead of re-trying. ☹️
