EyeTV 4 with MacOS 15 Sequoia

Recommended Posts

It seems to be related to the code signing. I used an older Tip from this forum an ran as an admin in Terminal the following command to delete the code-signature:

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

After starting EyeTV you have to grant access to files again.

EyeTV 4 has been working as usual for me since then.

Did you try the Sentinal "fix" mentioned in recent comments?

I used the Sentinel "fix" on my MacBook Pro M1 and now EyeTV works :-). I still have to try it on the other MBP with i9.

I have tried the sentinel solution and also removed and also allowed for any app to run on my computer. 

Still same issue. The programme starts to load. It shows the channel list and then it opens the live-tv window but stops there and then it just freezes

EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) now crashes on launch after updating to MacOS 15.4.1. DO NOT UPDATE TO MacOS 15.4.1 until this issue is resolved.

Removing the EyeTV app using EyeTV Reporter and re-installing the app does not resolve the problem. All Privacy & Security settings match the setting required on Geniatech's Support web page.

I2had this issue after updating to 15.4.1. Was working fine prior to that.

MacMini M2, EyeTV4 (8532) and Geniatech EyeTV2 Hybrid in Australia.

App would crash when trying to open any HD channels.

The Sentinel /self-signing "fix' worked for me also.

Google "Sentinel Macupdate" and downloaded/installed.

Dragged EyeTV app in finder onto the right-side box in Sentinel (Sign app with Ad-Hoc)

Relaunched Eye TV and now works.

Thank you all so much.

Use Sentinel and self-sign EyeTV, then it works again (here at Mac mini m4)

Thanks so much for posting this! I dread the day EyeTV becomes redundant, but it lives on for now.

EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) has been working for me under MacOS 15.3.

I upgraded to MacOS 15.4.1 and now EyeTV is inoperative.  Usually, EyeTV will hang (not responding) with "One moment please..." in the video window and need a force quit. Sometimes, it gets past that, but there's no video regardless of being live or an existing recording.  Just a "No Signal" message.  If it won't play recordings, it isn't a signal input problem.

No response from Geniatech Support yet.

BTW...  I've tried Sentinel numerous times.  No success.

Running Mac Studio (M2).  Every time I launch EyeTV (even before this particular problem was encountered), I get a pop-up saying "EyeConnect Update Required".  As I recall, that pop-up started after the upgrade from EyeTV 3 to version 4.

The Sentinel-fix worked for me as well. Thank you so much for the help AGB! Geniatech Support did not respond.

Problem:
Since I've updated my MacMini to macOS 15.4, EyeTV4 no longer works. As soon as LiveTV is started the app seems to crash / freeze and I can only "force quit". Using "EyeTV reporter", I've re-installed EyeTV and deleted all preferences, but it has not solved the problem. 
Specs:
Mac mini M1, 2020
16 GB memory
macOS Sequoia 15.4.1
EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532)
EyeTV Hybrid
Model EU 2008
Firmware 1.00

Solution:
Search for "Sentinel Macupdate" ( https://sentinel.macupdate.com )
Download Sentinel and drag it to "Apps"
Open Sentinel and drag the "EyeTV" app to the right side "Sign app with: Ad-Hoc"
Problem solved 🙂

Just upgraded my MacMini M1 to Sequoia. 

The Sentinel got my EyeTv working just fine. Did both procedures, and then it started working. 

Big Thanks to those who figured this out and shared the knowledge!!

Hello,

I got in contact with Apple Feedback Assistant in March and thought that I would never get a reply on that...

But yesterday I got a message back from Apple Feedback that the newest Update of Sequoia would solve these crashes on HD channels...

... I startet a new channel search in EyeTV.... and... surprise 😮 all channels work again...
 

Hope that this state keeps over the next updates as well

 

Here the feedback from Apple
"Das neueste Update enthält Änderungen, mit denen dieses Problem möglicherweise behoben wurde.
Tritt das Problem nach dem Aktualisieren auf das neueste Update noch immer auf? Falls ja, verwende bitte den Feedback-Assistenten, um uns mitzuteilen, dass das Problem nicht behoben ist."

I'm having a lot of issues with Sequoia 15.4. Version 15.1 worked, but it would crash after a while. It worked fine in Sonoma.

EyeTV 4.0.0 (8532) works fine on my Mac Mini M2 Pro (16 GB RAM) running MacOS 15.4.1 with an EyeTV Hybrid USB stick (ATSC, not DVB-T).  Also runs fine on my MacBook Pro M3 (16GB RAM) running MacOS 15.4.1.  (I did not need to use Sentinal.)

No problems viewing, recording, editing, or playback.  No crashes.  

Nota Bene: Years ago, I did a clean installation of EyeTV 4.0.0 (not a beta, deleted the EyeTV 3.x preferences, and so forth).
