I am using macOS 14 Sonoma and EyeTV 4.0.0 (8528) works exactly the same way it works in macOS 13 Ventura for me, I have it running on an Intel iMac from 2019.

I've just installed Sonoma on my 2020 i7 iMac and EyeTV crashes at startup.  I was previously running EyeTV 4.0.0 (8528) successfully but the application now crashes with the error message "EyeTV unexpectedly quit. Would you like to send  report so that we can fix the problem?"  This window also locks up and has to be Force Quit.

I've downloaded and reinstalled build 8528 but still get the same problem,  Anyone have any ideas as to what to try next?

Have you tried Build 8531

Based on past macOS versions, Geniatech is slow to release EyeTV updates for compatibility. But glad to hear that TheMats84 had success.

For anyone with similar issues, I received the following response on a Geniatech support ticked:

Thank you for contacting us.
EyeTV 4 is not very compatible with Sonoma 14.0 yet. We have not released a fully compatible version with MacOS 14.0 yet, 
which may take some time to resolve this issue. You can first rollback to the MacOS 13.0 system

Thanks for the post about EyeTV on Sonoma 14.0.  I do not need anything in Sonoma, so I will wait and wait to upgrade MacOS -- until a new EyeTV 4 release version comes out and other folks report it working reliably under Sonoma.

This just showed up today: 8532.

I am on a 2023 M2 Pro Mini running 14.1.1, didn't have any issues with 8528 though....YMMV.

Goes without saying, EPG still dead dead dead.

Did you see that Geniatech released a new update to EyeTV 4? In the release notes, it says "Compatible with macOS 14" (Sonoma).

I haven't upgraded yet, but would be curious if anyone has any reports on this latest version.

M2 Pro mini, 14.1.1, 4.0.0 (8532), EyeTV HD, USA,  woks fine for me. Whatever the previous version did as well, no problems. I am still pissed though about the guide DOA all these years. 😠

Thanks for confirming the Sonoma update, Bob.

About the TV guide capability: are you aware that there is an option of importing TV data from other sources? I use XML TV Listings. It isn't free (I pay $20/year for the data) and you have to be somewhat technical to implement it, but it does work reliably.

Here are the instructionshttps://www.xmltvlistings.com/help/guides/eyetv

I also found this forum thread helpful in implementing it:
