Action for going to EyeTV EPG

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Hi there,

I want to be able to activate the EPG in EyeTV by holding the "Select"-button on my Apple Alu remote.

I've been looking for the piece of ActionScript that will tell EyeTV to show the EPG but I can't seem to find it.

Can anyone help me with this?

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

Hardware - Apple® Remote

After uninstalling/quitting Remote Buddy, my Mac® no longer reacts to the Apple® Remote. (FAQ015E0241)
To enable you to use all capabilities of the IR Receiver of your Mac®, Remote Buddy is using its own driver. In contrast, all other applications with integrated Apple® Remote support usually use the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

As long as you're running Remote Buddy, Remote Buddy and its driver are responsible for turning the received button presses into actions. As soon as you quit Remote Buddy, this task is again handled by the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem.

If other applications don't use the interface to the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem correctly, this can lead to the effect that nothing happens when you press a button on your Apple® Remote. For as long as you're running Remote Buddy, issues like this are covered by Remote Buddy and it's driver and are therefore not visible to you. However, as soon as you quit Remote Buddy, the OS X Apple® Remote subsystem is back in control and any issues caused in it by other applications become visible.

Therefore Remote Buddy is neither the cause of the issue nor is it responsible for it. Instead, the cause of the issue exists independently of Remote Buddy. It's located elsewhere and can also only be solved there.

Although our products can't cause any such issues, we're regularly contacted about such issues and asked for help. In order to make locating and fixing the cause of such issues as easy and efficient as possible, we've developed a free diagnostics tool: Remote Control Diagnostics. It can locate issues with a single click and will provide you with information about the issue as well as with instructions on how you can fix it.
After updating to OS X 10.6.2, my Apple® Remote is no longer available for selection in Remote Buddy. (FAQ015E0236)
Please update your copy of Remote Buddy to version 1.15 or later.

Hardware - EyeTV Receiver

Which receivers are supported? (FAQ015E0211)
The latest info on hard- and software-requirements including info on support hardware can be found on the dedicated page for EyeTV receivers.

Please consider making use of the free Remote Buddy trial version to test your device for compatibility directly on your computer.

Hi Jachobsen,

don't worry, this is quite easy. In eyeTV you have to press the shortcut "Command+G" to Activate/Deactivate the EPG.

Open the Settings in Remote Buddy and click on the Beahaviour eyeTV. Select the Button you want to use (In your Example: Select (hold) ).
Open the List with the Actions and select "Own Action". Click on the "+" in the left Bottom of the Window to create and name your new Action. Define the Keystroke Command+G and close the Window. Now you can select and use your own Action.

Hey what I did was make a behavior.
1. key stroke---Shift esc (opens the menu)
2. key stroke---G (selects the guide option)
3. key stroke---Return (selects the guide)

this works very well and the guide pops up right away. I also have a "watch now button" and it selects the program then W for the watch option and then return to go to the show.

Just incase you have not used the keystroke option before you have to select the correct operation type or it messes everything up. Be sure every keystroke is set to "single key press between button press and release" once you are done just map it to any button on the remote you want.

Hope this helps.
