What is interesting is I am almost 100% sure that I did not change this preference and if I had I would have not put the archive in the Documents folder, but put it in the Movies folder. My solution is going to be to move the default folder to the Library. In this way, you keep the EyeTV Archive wherever you like, but EyeHome will find a link to it in that Library folder. Most users can do this using SymbolicLinker. Place the link called “EyeTV Archive” in the Library folder Open the folder that’s named after your User account (it may have a House icon). Due to this error, EyeHome can’t find your EyeTV recordings without help.Ī symbolic link, that points from the true EyeTV Archive location, will solve the problem – name the link “EyeTV Archive”, and place it in the Library folder ( ~/Library/EyeTV Archive). In reality, it’s probably in the Documents folder, or somewhere else that you chose via the Recording Preferences in EyeTV. If you are using EyeTV with EyeHome, then EyeHome thinks your EyeTV Archive is in the Library folder for your User account. Having enjoyed the episode of Merlin, I now wanted to work out why the EyeHome couldn’t find the EyeTV. This worked well (and the quality is better than the BBC iPlayer version).

So using an iPod touch I connected it to the TV, browsed to my EyeTV recordings using the URL given in the EyeTV preferences and played the recording. This is then made available over your wireless network via a web interface. What this does is once EyeTV has finished recording a TV programme, it will automatically convert the recording into a format which will play on the iPod touch or the iPhone.

It’s simple to turn on, just go to the relevant section in the EyeTV preferences.

One of the features of EyeTV following an update (version 2.5) was the ability to stream recordings wirelessly to an iPhone or an iPod touch. I did remove the relationship between the iMac and the EyeHome, restart the EyeHome application on the iMac, but no joy. The EyeHome could find video in my Movies folder and other content across the iMac but not the EyeTV recordings. However the EyeHome could not find my EyeTV recording, and I knew I had some. However last night I decided to use my EyeHome so that I could watch a recording of Merlin I had made earlier using EyeTV.

The majority of software and applications I use seem to have been working fine. If you have been reading recently you will know that I have upgraded my iMac to Leopard. The PSP power supply looked like it could fit… Yesterday I started tidying up the office and I “found” the EyeHome and started to pack it into a box when I looked at the power supply input, noticed it said 5V and started to wonder… So for most of this year, the EyeHome was sat in the office and I waited paitently for Elgato to make a replacement… I did try and find a replacement transformer, but though I thought I had found a potential supplier, it wasn’t clear which transformer I should buy for the EyeHome. I was hoping to find a replacement for my EyeHome, but after having a good look around, trying even to use the PS3, in the end I decided that the only possible replacement was a Mac mini and even that was a compromise and not a real replacement.

What I did back then was ask Elgato and they replaced the transformer for me, however according to their website they can no longer provide replacements. I assumed has had happened before that the transformer had broken again. Back in October last year my EyeHome stopped working.
