Sorry for the typo's... For some reason I have not been able to edit them out, so here is the story again (with less typo's, I hope): Although I have quite some issues with EyeTV4 (all covered in other topics) my biggest problem was NOT being able to automatically update the DVB-program guide. Recently though I discovered a Mac-app 'cliclick', which I installed, which now allows me to, indeed auto update the dvb guide. You need to be a litlle bit more than a regular end-user to install it, tell MacOS to allow it to control your programs and install a script that runs every now and then, but if you are, then this could be a good example to start with: /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to quit' sleep 10 # /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' sleep 30 # # command-w /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+100,+0 w:2000 c:. m:+0,+182 w:2000 c:. m:+0,-182 w:2000 m:510,+0 c:. /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+100,+0 w:2000 c:. m:+0,+182 w:2000 c:. m:+0,-182 w:2000 m:510,+0 c:. /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+100,+0 w:2000 c:. m:+0,+182 w:2000 c:. m:+0,-182 w:2000 m:510,+0 c:. # control-p /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+370,+0 w:2000 c:. m:+0,+165 w:2000 c:. m:+0,-165 w:2000 m:510,+0 c:. # control-z /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+370,+0 w:2000 c:. m:+0,+50 w:2000 c:. m:+0,-50 w:2000 m:510,+0 c:. # update dvb /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "EyeTV" to activate' ; sleep 1 ; /usr/local/Cellar/cliclick/5.1/bin/cliclick m:28,11 w:2000 m:+0,+120 w:2000 rc:. w:2000 m:+15,+40 w:2000 c:. I suggest you let it run and you'll see what happens. I am happy with it. To explain a bit: When starting EyeTV it may start with a live viewer window (that's why I close the top window before generating any more mouseclicks) When starting Eye TV it comes up with a Programs-window on a random location (that's why I close the top window again before generating any more mouseclicks) Just to be sure no other windows are open I do a command-w once more 😉 After that the script opens a Programs-window, zooms it so that it knows the exact position of the buttons on the left and finally it clicks the 'Update DVB' button. The frequent osascript-calls are there to make sure EyeTV is still frontmost when generating a mouseclick.

I bet the easiest way to update the netstream4c is by opening it's webserver-page (http://<ip-address-of-the-netstream4c>) and click the update button there.

Yes please!!! Would it be possible to post the script here??? Thanks a lot!

I've got version 402 running now, thanks. Will see if my problems are solved now. I will remove the temporary email-address (as published above).

Would it be possible for someone to mail me the 7412 or 7416 version of the Mac application? I have many versions in my backup but no 7412/7416 that it seems I need to update my Netstream 4c, which now has 1.1.0.390r1-v1 installed. Please help... I'm desparate!!! my email (published here, just to speed up things): macadam@vangaalen.homeip.net

I've been running a debug version of EyeTV 3.6.9 (7524) since long, hoping that I could provide enough debug-data for Geniatech to fix the problems I have with it. Today I was going to install the macOS 10.15 beta but when the installer 'told me' I would no longer be able to run EyeTV I cancelled the installation. I am now wondering: How do I continue?
