Hello Felix,

I have a very strange problem using RB with EyeTV, infact when my mac mini wake up after a period of sleep i'm not able to using the associated actions availables with RB, infact i cannot use :

- After the press of the button <menu> and the selection of the option to activate the internal menu available in EyeTV in fullscreen mode, i cannot use any of the available otions availables like guide, recording,... it seems that any button that i press in my remote command (the white bundled with the mini) cannot activate any actions. 
- If I reboot the system all the behavior works fine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for asking.

If you're really using EyeTV 3.1, please update to the latest version 
of EyeTV, which fixes a known issue in EyeTV menu that can have an 
effect similar to the one you describe.

If you've posted a shortened EyeTV version number and you are in fact 
using the latest version, please send me a screenshot of Prefs > 
Mapping > EyeTV and also let me know

- the OS X version you run 
- the Mac model you are using 
- the remote control you are using 
- the exact EyeTV version you are running (including the build number 
from the About dialog) 
- the Remote Buddy version you are running

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

i experienced another problem with eye tv and sleep of my mac mini. 
when i wake the mac mini the mouse automatically is in the top left corner of my display. this makes the EYE TV menu stay poped out. maybe not really a Remote Buddy problem, but kind of disturbing - makes it a bit unconfortable to get of the couch and move the mouse 15 pixels each time you start eyetv.

This truely is not a Remote Buddy issue, but you can use Remote Buddy 
to work around it:

1) By using Remote Buddy's virtual mouse

2) By adding a custom action with the AppleScript code found here 
(which is using Remote Buddy's virtual mouse as well, but simplifies 
it down to a single button press):

Dear Felix,

thanks for your quick reply.

I´m not sure if I got that right.

Two questions: 
1.) with the second solution: do i have to start the mouse behaviour first, or is it only one long pressed "down" or "right" button that moves the mouse away?

2.)I´ve never made an apple script before. I opened the script editor and pasted your code. I got the following german error message (i suppose you´re german and understand this): "Es wurde Ausdruck erwartet, aber ein "Zeilenende" wurde gefunden." 
Is there a finished script? Or what have i done wrong?

I pasted: 
------------------------------------------------------ 
tell application "Remote Buddy"

repeat 5 times

behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursordown" event 
"pressed" 
behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursordown" event 
"released"

behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursorright" event 
"pressed" 
behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursorright" event 
"released"

end repeat

end tell 
------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for asking.

Regarding 1) the idea would be to activate the mouse behaviour and then move the mouse cursor using your remote's buttons.

Regarding 2) 
I usually answer forum posts through Apple Mail, which, at times, adds odd line breaks so the text fits into a width defined by Apple Mail. In this case, it managed to break the source code this way :-) .. the AppleScript source is meant to read:

---- 
tell application "Remote Buddy"

repeat 5 times

behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursordown" event "pressed" 
behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursordown" event "released"

behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursorright" event "pressed" 
behaviouraction actionIdentifier "input.mouse.cursorright" event "released"

end repeat

end tell 
----

The idea is

1) to create a new global action (=> http://helpbooks.iospirit.net/remotebuddy/german/howto.html#AddGlobalAction ) 
2) add an AppleScript actor to it (by hitting the respective "+"), then pasting above source code as the source code for that AppleScript actor 
3) use that action in the menu or on a button (=> global actions created the way outlined in 1) are available under Miscellaneous (Verschiedene))

Hope that clears everything up.
