EyeTV 4 manually created schedules disappear from list on restart - solution

Recommended Posts

Having finally got rid of the video stutter on HD channels thanks to this post (EyeTV 8528) I was hoping to start using the software again to watch and record TV for later viewing. However the scheduling was behaving strangely. What I observed is that if you choose a programme to record from the Programme Guide, by pressing the red dot, the schedule is kept. If you manually make your schedule, as is often the case when the programme isn't listed in the Programme Guide or is quite far ahead, then the schedule disappears on software restart.

The bug occurs when you change the "EyeTV Archive" Location in Preferences. It will work if the location is username/Documents, but I had it set to username/Documents/EyeTV Archive, and this created the following: username/Documents/EyeTV Archive/EyeTV Archive. 

The end result of this is that schedules were being placed in both username/Documents/EyeTV Archive, and username/Documents/EyeTV Archive/EyeTV Archive, but the manually created ones were not being read or found on software restart. Until this is fixed, the solution is to keep the EyeTV Archive location unchanged in preferences to username/Documents.
