I have further optimized the scripts. Here is the last video: http://www.vimeo.com/4693691

Hello.

Could you share these scripts?

Thanks.

This scripts arranges 4 EyeTV windows on a external TV with 1920x1080 res. 
The res. of the main screen is supposed to be 1920x1200. Set Overscan and Stretch to ON, and "Always put the full screen display to" to your external TV. Then open 4 EyeTV windows and put them all in fullscreen (Apple + 0). Now you can run the scripts from your remote.

Here are the scripts:

QuadSplit: 
------- 
activate application "EyeTV" 
tell application "System Events" 
keystroke "`" using {shift down, command down} 
end tell 
tell application "EyeTV" 
activate 
tell window 1 
set bounds to {1920, 0, 2880, 540} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 2 
set bounds to {2880, 0, 3840, 540} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 4 
set bounds to {1920, 540, 2880, 1080} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 3 
set bounds to {2880, 540, 3840, 1080} 
end tell 
end tell 
-------

MultiPIP Left: 
------- 
activate application "EyeTV" 
tell application "System Events" 
keystroke "`" using {shift down, command down} 
end tell 
tell application "EyeTV" 
activate 
tell window 2 
set bounds to {1920, 0, 2160, 360} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 3 
set bounds to {1920, 360, 2160, 720} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 4 
set bounds to {1920, 720, 2160, 1080} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 1 
set bounds to {2160, 0, 3840, 1080} 
end tell 
end tell

Thank you.

Mi resolution TV is 1280x764. I guess that some numbers will be changed, but I don't understand very well the meaning of some of this:

 
Are they the coordinates of the position of the windows on a TV of 1920x1200??

Regards.

So, the resolution of your externally connected TV is 1280x764. But what is the resolution of your main display? 

User

My main display? Tha same: 1280x768. 
Do you mean the set in System preferences-Displays ?? 
If so it is 1280x768.

Indeed, I see an error: it is 1280x768, NO 1280x764

Regards

If you want to run QuadSplit on your main display (not on external monitor or TV) try this:

---- QuadSplit on main disp. 1280x768

activate application "EyeTV" 
tell application "System Events" 
keystroke "`" using {shift down, command down} 
end tell 
tell application "EyeTV" 
activate 
tell window 1 
set bounds to {0, 0, 640, 384} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 2 
set bounds to {640, 0, 1280, 384} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 3 
set bounds to {640, 384, 1280, 768} 
end tell 
tell window 4 
set bounds to {0, 384, 640, 768} 
end tell 
activate 
end tell

Thanks for the info.

But I cann't understand the difference between my "main display" and my "external monitor or TV". I am using a Mac mini connect to a TV.

I have an iMac with an external TV. In this case the display of iMac is the "main display" and my TV is the "second display".

In your case, your TV is the "main display" so you can use the "QuadSplit on main disp. 1280x768" script from my last reply.

Ahh, it seemed strange to me.

Thank you again.

And here is a MultiPIP_Left script for your 1280x768 main display:

MultiPIP_Left on main disp. 1280x768 
------- 
activate application "EyeTV" 
tell application "System Events" 
keystroke "`" using {shift down, command down} 
end tell 
tell application "EyeTV" 
activate 
tell window 1 
set bounds to {0, 0, 200, 256} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 2 
set bounds to {0, 256, 200, 512} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 3 
set bounds to {0, 512, 200, 768} 
end tell 
activate 
tell window 4 
set bounds to {200, 0, 1280, 768} 
end tell 
end tell

Could I be so bold as to ask if you could send me the correct script for 1344 x 756 res with FIVE windows, being one main on left and four on the right. 
Just not sure how to do the math...

Thanks.

David.

OK. I did the math, first learning coordinates, and here it is for a 1344 x 756 display with all windows in 16:9 ratio.

To be honest I don't understand what the: keystroke "`" using {shift down, command down} 
is used for.

One problem I have is that i Typically have EyeTV prefs "Always open EyeTV in new window" set to off (unchecked).

So I need to include scripts to enable this option then disable it to return to normal setup. 
Also, a way to select and swap each smaller window with the main one.

Any clues folks?

activate 
tell window 2
