Re: How to easily switch between EyeTV and Plex?

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, it's amazing how much you can do with RB. Best 20 euros ever spent.

I currently switch by bringing up the RB menu. I'm trying to simplify this a bit. 
The problem is that I have to quit Plex (because it is in fullscreen mode and always on top) and then start EyeTV so I need at least two button presses, and it takes time. The other way around is the same; I need to pause or quit EyeTV to save resources and then start Plex again.

I understand this is not a functionality of RB but the programs themselves, but I can imagine that more people want to use RB for the same purpose so I thought I'd ask. I am trying to write an AppleScript to hide Plex and open EyeTV and another one to pause EyeTV and bring Plex back up. There might be easier solutions though. And nicer ones too - AS is quite an ugly workaround.

Any ideas are welcome :-)

EDIT: if anyone's interested, this is my AppleScript solution so far. I think it works pretty well:
