EyeTV 4 with MacOS 15 Sequoia

Recommended Posts

Works OK on MacOS 14 Sonoma, just the iPhone/iPad access has been lost. But not expecting any releases beyond 8532 so don't want to lose my TV tuner.

Hello,

Constant crashes with 8532 (using EyeTV Diversity) on Sequoia 15.0 MacBook M1, rendering it unusable.

Was rock-solid in Sonoma, even with storage on an external (spinning) disk.

Hoping for the best in 15.1, fearing the worst.

Best.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have similar hardware, Mac mini M1 with EyeTV Diversity. I feared this was going to be the case and do hope a future Sequoia update resolves your issues.

>> News: much better with 15.0.1; jury still out for using an external disk, but seems OK on internal flash.,;

Most active thread in years here 😁

So i jump and highjack it, i'm the one who haven't upgraded from Mojave because it is my only source of TV. My one question do not think has answered. Is the remote control from the mac  mini 2014 , the classic metallic one works ?????????

Yes that is correct, but do they work with eyetv4, there were people saying that no remote works with v4. only keyboad.

The original remote that came with my EyeTV Hybrid 2008 works with this set up:

EyeTV 4, Ventura, iMac Retina 5K 27-inch 2017.

The EyeTV Hybrid has the receiver. This iMac does not have IR.

I have one of those remotes, must have come with the hybrid that has since failed. I'm currently using an elgato hybrid tuner that doesn't have an IR receiver.

No that remote has nothing to do with eyetv, it is an original apple remote bought separately when i got the mac mini. it is IR it is exactly as you see it on the picture.

According to other users, NO remote was working on v4. That was years ago though

Thanks so much for your comment. Delighted to report I too have updated from 14 to 15.0.1. EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) is working fine

EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) works fine with an older EyeTV Hybrid (ATSC+NTSC, not DVB) USB stick tuner on a Mac Mini M2 Pro with 16 GB RAM running MacOS 15.1.1. 

I use an external USB-C Lacie disk for EyeTV media storage, but use the internal flash drive for the EyeTV application and configuration files. This all works OK.

Sorry, but I have NEVER used the FM radio feature and I have no way to test that.  I only use the ATSC tuner and also playback of older ATSC recordings from external disk.

I just updated my Mac to Sequoia 15.2. Now EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) crashes short after starting the program.
EyeTV 4 worked flawlessly under Sequoia 15.1.1

I have the same problem not sure it worked flawlessly though on my M1 MBA before Sequoia 15.2. Now since I updated to 15.2 this morning it just crashes. I have tried on my Intel Mac and it does the same thing. SAT>IP tuner worked most of the time with old Sequoia updates. Ironically I use macOS Mojave in a VM using EyeTV 3.x for reliable recordings and safely quits EyeTV afterwards. The current EyeTV 4.x always would keep the record window active and would not stop the stream after recording, the mac would never sleep that way. They have never fixed that issue for me and have told them in the past about that issue. I only use EyeTV 4.x for editing and use ffmpeg to clean up streams and export to Handbrake to encode in HEVC mp4 files for my Plex server.

Update: Today I checked the preferences of EyeTv 4 and disabled the sharing-options (both check-boxes). In the checkbox "Player" I activated "HD transcoding to 720p" (I unsually record movies without this transcoding as they then have full resolution ...). In "Display" I checked "Overscan on" and "Full-size" to "normal", Deinterlace both to "Progressive Scan".

Eye TV now runs for more than 1 ½ hours .... Let's hope, it will stay this way... 🙂

EyeTV 4 8532 with macOS 15.2:

Started EyeTV

It did not find the Stream4Sat.

Used the Setup-Assistent (just clicking through, no new channel search)

EyeTV crashed

Restarted ExeTV

Seems to work (switched channels, runs already for >10 minutes, switched channels again) 

Not too bad...
