temporary workarounds for eyetv4

[rened 20]

1) for intel

When you start eyetv In the console, you will have the following message
'/Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreAVC.framework/Versions/A/CoreAVC' not valid for use in process: mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned? 
        Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed.), 
it seams that frameworks have not the same signature that main app and can't be executed and video will be played without avc hardware.

exec the command below  in terminal:

codesign --remove-signature /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV

this will fix  slutter,  black image problems and perhaps 720p problems .

 

2) to install version 8528 on M1

copy from 8528.dmg to /Applications

create the  script below and exec it ( this will starts eyetv for 5s , remove signature, then create exe to remove arguments which crash app)

#!/bin/bash
/Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV&
sleep 5
kill %
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV
mv /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/eyetv.exe
cat >eyetv.c <<%
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
char *argv[] = { NULL };;
execv ("/Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/eyetv.exe",argv);
}
%
gcc eyetv.c -o /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV

there is a mistake in the commands codesign ( 2 minus sign)

codesign ---remove-signature /Applications/EyeTV.app/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV

Thank you SO MUCH for this! This seems to be the answer to the problems that have been plaguing me since EyeTV4 was released!

Thank you! I can confirm that this fixes the issues with choppy HD playback with all versions newer than 8517. I was using version 8517 and now after this fix 8528 is usable.
