HELP! - Eye TV 3 to iTunes / Apple TV (Automatic)

hi all,

can manually export eye tv recordings itunes, formatted apple tv hd.

hoping show me how write script following:

- export recorded files automatically itunes (formatted apple tv hd) not copy file itunes, create link (so file remains in eye tv archive on external drive)

thanks,

h.

 

i'd interested in well. have scheduled recordings set automatically export itunes (formatted apple tv hd), exported recordings physically copied itunes library folder and/or "movies" folder in home directory.

better if 1 send itunes "pointer" actual file sitting on external hard drive, since have less free space on mac's internal hard drive.

possible tell itunes not copy new files it's library when imported. meaning if drag new video file itunes window pane itunes recognize , catalog file not copy/duplicate it.
1 can in 2 ways:
1.) when dragging file itunes window, before letting go of mouse button, see green plus icon cursor is. if press option key before let go of mouse button, green plus icon go away, indicating not copying file, "importing" itunes.
2.) in itunes go itunes-->preferences-->advanced , uncheck box says "copy files itunes media folder when importing".

said, tried option 2, above, , when eyetv exports files don't end in itunes media folder files still copied movies folder in home directory. doesn't solve problem because whether exported recordings in itunes media folder or movies folder, still on internal hard drive.

in conclusion think need fixed update eyetv. or perhaps had developed diy workaround using applescripts, since eyetv plays nice those.
