EyeTV4 Mac build 8528 - full screen keyboard input causes App/GUI to hang (beach ball)

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have reported the following situation to the GeniaTech Support team.

  • EyeTV 4.0.0 for Mac
  • Build 8528
  • Intel iMac
  • Monterey 12.6.2

When the view is set to full screen mode (CMD 5), if you use the keyboard number keys to change the channel, then the channel will change and video will play. HOWEVER, the App/GUI will hang with the spinning beach ball. If you right-click on the EyeTV icon in the dock it shows “Application not responding”, and the option to “Force Quit”. As others have noticed, after the channel change the information overlay does not disappear.

To me it looks like a threading issue.

Interestingly, the problem does not happen in windowed modes (tiny, small, normal, max).

Anyone else? Please add “me too”…

I don't have this problem, but I'm on a Mac M1 Max with Ventura...
Maybe it's a bug on Intel?
I'm not really surprised though, considering how little care was taken in the development of this app...

Does that mean that EyeTV 4 is working for you on Apple Silicon and macOS 13?

I'm here on a new Mac mini (2013) with M2Pro CPU and macOS 13.2.1 Ventura and EyeTV 4 is not able to do a cable channel scan with my EyeTV-Hybrid USB-Stick. 😞

The Stick itself is recognized with its metadata (Serial Number, Firmware Release etc.), but no function is available (hangs forever).
