Has anyone successfully created a behavior for LiveStation yet? I've tried but keep having trouble getting Remote Buddy to see the app. 
It's a great program - brings live video streams together in one program. 
I'd love a copy of a LiveStation behavior when/if it's created. 
Thanks, 
SM

I didn\'t know about this app until I read your message. It is really interesting and I would also like to have a behaviour for it. It looks easy as it only needs left-right-enter-cmd+f, but as you I tried and failed. 
I think that RB looks for something inside the app bundle when you try to drop it into the constructor kit. At least it needs the bundle identifier in order to fill that field but it looks like it does not find what it looks for. I am not a mac os x programmer but I looked at the info.plist in LiveStation and it does not contain a bundle identifier and maybe it is part of the problem, but as I said, I really cannot tell. 
Let\'s hope Felix can take a look at it.

Thanks for asking.

Daniel is right. Live Station doesn't have a bundle identifer, which 
is THE standard means of locating and identifying an application under 
OS X. You can add one yourself by f.ex. inserting a

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> 
<string>com.livestation.livestation</string>

into the Info.plist's main dictionary. The real solution, of course, 
is for LiveStation.com to fix their Info.plist at which point, it can 
be identified easily by Remote Buddy and many other apps.

Hi Felix

I tried that but still RB does not recognize the app (it does not get the bundle id if I try to drop it into the field). 
So we are still missing something. I paste below the info.plist with your new key added, the one that still does not work (I hope xml code does not create problems with the forum)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd"> 
<plist version="0.9"> 
<dict> 
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key> 
<string>icon.icns</string> 
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key> 
<string>APPL</string> 
<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key> 
<string>Created by Qt/QMake</string> 
<key>CFBundleSignature</key> 
<string>????</string> 
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key> 
<string>Livestation</string> 
<key>NOTE</key> 
<string>Please, do NOT change this file -- It was generated by Qt/QMake.</string> 
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>  
<string>com.livestation.livestation</string> 
</dict> 
</plist>

Thanks for the info.

Did you drag the application onto the table on the left in Remote 
Buddy's Behaviour Factory again?

The bundle identifier is only extracted on that occassion. Existing 
entries don't auto-update since they hold no file system reference to 
the application.
