EyeTV Bugs
Version 4.0.0 (8520)
EyeTV v 4 is very unstable:
Picture and sound may show when recording starts;
Picture and sound may show when another app. is started;
Picture and sound may start on its own with no other app. running.
Can sometimes get sound only while listening to iTunes music. Only fix is to close EyeTV.
Occasionally, the act of watching a programme while still recording ends the recording.
Cannot open TV window with the mouse after eyeTV starts. Have to use “Control+P” - no option available to do anything.
Cannot use “ESC” key to minimise full screen TV window. Have to double click picture to minimise then close with “red” close window button.
If the station signal is too weak, it opens a picture window without content (just white) without any any minimise etc buttons. I.E. A translucent window. Have to close EyeTv to close.
TV Window behaviour is unconventional:
Horizontal scroll bar is at top not bottom of screen. (BBC iPlayer, BT TV, Netflix etc all have the scroll bar at the bottom.)
Scroll bar is too short making scene selection difficult.
Cannot resize any window and have the size remembered.
Cannot use CTRL+P to bring EyeTV to the front. It works from nothing but not with a picture showing.
The picture window “hides behind the system menu bar so you have to click on a “close” button that is only just visible.
Cannot delete a recording except from the recording list. (different to 32 bit version)
Cannot delete more that one item at a time even though several can be selected at once.
Editing a programme is very tricky. to continue after the first clip, you have to start from within the prior clip.
“Help/How-to” is desperately needed.
Still a lot of finishing work to do. Don't stop now!
