Mario 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2016 Hi to everybody. Here is my question: I run MacOS Sierra. Which version of EyeTV I have to download? My device is an old Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T XS, that, I know, works until OS X Leopard. Does it work with new software? Thanks to all Bye, Mario Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJD2112 2 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Wait, I have EyeTV 3.6.9 (7513) running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta (16B2548a). I've been using it for a long time as I work for Apple in marketing and we've been testing internal builds well before June's WWDC. Not a problem. Interestingly, I can't find this version anywhere now. What happened to it? Why was it removed? Edited October 17, 2016 by CJD2112 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ton 29 Report post Posted October 24, 2016 I installed Sierra on a clean Macbook Air, next I installed latest EyeTV. Since I didn't want to spend hours on the installation I copied all the necessary support files from my iMac where EyeTV is running under El Capitan. Watch some live TV and did some recording. But I noticed no problem whatsoever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Various released versions have been used since beta testing macOS Sierra 10.12 without errors/debugging required. Sierra was released to the public a month ago. The macOS beta 10.1 was just released to the public today, no one using EyeTV 3.x experienced conflicts with 10.12's new features (APFS, SIP, Finder, Mach Kernel, etc). It seems you simply have been using the incorrect version of EyeTV 3.x. As for your other question, I do work for Apple in marketing out of Munich HQ and live in Berlin.

Ton 29 Report post Posted October 25, 2016 Anyway, biggest failure here is Geniatech since they replied "we are working on it" translating into "yes you're right, there is a problem". However there is no problem since at least 2 people have tested Sierra + EyeTV and had no problems. Geniatechs reply does not surprise me. it is identical to the way that Elgato always solved problems. "tell the customer "we are working on it" and subsequently do nothing. Apparently they even did not test official Sierra with EyeTV. A shame making EyeTV into abandonware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kym 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2016 I suppose I better set CJD2112 straight eh Ton ? Mario asks a question about which EyeTV works with macOS Sierra ? I reply that NO version of EyeTV works with Sierra because I had already been in contact with Geniatech who had advised that "they were working on it". Then CJD2112 jumps in and writes .. Quote Wait, I have EyeTV 3.6.9 (7513) running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta (16B2548a). I've been using it for a long time as I work for Apple in marketing and we've been testing internal builds well before June's WWDC. Not a problem. So I come back and point out that macOS Sierra 10.12.1 Beta is NOT the same as the final production macOS Sierra and, as an Apple employee, he should know that a Beta is not the same as a Prod release. Hell, even a simple Google search will uncover that many people reported EyeTV worked with macOS Sierra Beta but subsequently didn't with the production release. So even though I copied a direct response from Geniatech support (having supplied them with the version of macOS Sierra and EyeTV I was using .. latest) in which they acknowledged the problem and advised they were working on it .. we have CJD2112 back on the air now telling everyone ... Quote It seems you simply have been using the incorrect version of EyeTV 3.x Don't tell me CJD2112 hacked into my iMac and that's how he knew what version of EyeTV I had installed ? And also .. Quote Good to know this matter has been resolved. Hey CJD2112 how about: Contacting Geniatech support and advise them the matter has been resolved and that they should stop working on a problem that doesn't even exist. Let Mario know the version of EyeTV that will work with the latest release of macOS Sierra PRODUCTION. Maybe asking Geniatech support for a job. Ton, I realise it will take some time for Geniatech to get across the EyeTV code base but as you say, it's beginning to look like abandonware. Any suggested alternatives ?

Ton 29 Report post Posted October 28, 2016 I probably do not fully understand your message. So "sorry" beforehand. I Use OSX Sierra 10.12 (all updates) i.c.w. EyeTV 3.6.9 (7513) To my knowledge with are latest version and it all works fine. Wat would anyone inform Geniatech they are working on a non existing problem? Let's be honest. It is their task to test if there is a problem. I worked with a hard/software supplier and we always checked ourselves whether the customers complaint was real and correct. Apparently they have the same philosophy as Elgato (I wonder whether the difference is only in the name) meaning "do nothing maybe the problem resolves by itself". As to alternatives. Pity there is not much for the Mac besides DVBlink. DVBlink is a good program, cheaper than EyeTV and does all and more (aTV4 client available). Presently I use partly EyeTV and partly DVBlink. The latter becauseEyeTV does not supports only the HDHR3-EU/US and not the ones with 4 decoders. Why not use DVBlink fully? Simply because scheduling of EyeTV is way more comfortable and extensive than DVBlink. Also the GUI of EyeTV looks very good where DVBlink looks like a Win/Linus product transferred to Mac (meaning "it works, who cares about looks"). A very very positive of DVBlink is the support. It is nearly instantaneous. You can test either a limited (only limitation 1 user) for 30 days or full-fledged version for 30 days. So give it a try. Alternative for those that have a NAS is TVHeadend. If is a free product with almost no support and quite a difficult setup. Once you get it running you get the best of both world. Alas with 1 big drawback, it has a very poor EPG. I would call it no EPG at all. But I really would prefer to get a fully working EyeTV 4.0 and pay for that. Only I fear Geniatech won't let me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennis 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2016 Big issues here, running eyetv 3 on Sierra. Bought a eyetv hybrid today, but some channels show a still picture that updates about twice a minute and some stuttery sound, and most channels show nothing at all. Signal strenght is good though. Real bummer.... Hopefully someone knows a fix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kym 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks Ton, I'll check out DVBLink. There are lots of variables besides MacOS & EyeTV versions including country, Elgato device etc. Still, the fact that Geniatech have not posted a public statement on the issue adds up to zero customer service. I'm surprised some Mac technical expert hasn't dug around and posted a work-around by now. I'll check in on the forum occasionally for an update.

chuckles67 2 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Since upgrading to macOS Sierra, I have had four Mac crash-shutdowns during EyeTV recordings. I don't recall this ever happening for EyeTV with El Capitan or prior Mac OS version. The crash-shutdowns terminate the recording and generate a panic report, and happen randomly. - EyeTV 3.6.9 (3416) - macOS Sierra 10.12.1 (16B2555) - HD HomeRun ethernet connected TV tuner I contacted GeniaTech support and got this reply on 16th November: Currently, there are known compatibility issues with SierraOS. We are working on a fix, but until then, all you can do is to make sure that your device and software are installed properly, that no drivers are missing, and that neither your firewall nor your antivirus-software prevent your EyeTV-Software from running. I should have stayed on El Capitan as EyeTV is the primary use for this Mac Mini. Edited November 29, 2016 by chuckles67 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also am using the EyeTV 3.6.9 (7513). If you are looking for this version of EyeTv software it is available at <www.geniatech.eu/> in the support area.

I am not sure I want to experiment with new software until Geniatech sends me some official notice that an new update is available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ton 29 Report post Posted December 4, 2016 Basic rule for all software: 1. Don't be the first to install updates but wait for at least a week. 2. Don't update if there is no improvement that one needs. 3. Always backup to a clone before any major update. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about behaving as an adult and treating others with the same respect you expect. The anonymity of the internet does not bestow you with the belief respect and maturity no longer matter because we are not speaking face to face. As per my experience, I do not know why it has never been a problem. I have disabled SIP since 10.11 and always change the permissions on my /Applications folder to ensure my account is included as macOS does not by default and confirm those changes to include subfolders. Sometimes this poses problems with third party applications. Other than those two issues the only other difference was receiving the version I use from EyeTV by Elgato before it was fully acquired.
