Overnight EyeTV Exports

06/11/08 09:38
I have taken a script written by someone else and totally re-written it.
It takes your EyeTV recordings archive and produces exported versions of all the recordings in a format of your choice. It either puts these in the packages with the other EyeTV files for that recording, or saves them all out to a new directory of your choice with a filename that is made up of “ - <recorded date>.<extension>”. You get to choose the format, and the extension.<br /><br />You can download the <a href="files/JKFEyeTVExport.scpt" rel="self">JKFEyeTVExport.scpt script here</a> or the <a href="files/JKFEyeTVExport.applescript" rel="self">plain text version</a> of it.<br /><br />You can run it regularly by simply using a cron job, as detailed at the top of the script. Alternatively, you can create a repeating iCal alarm which runs the script, if you are scared of using cron!<p class="blog-entry-tags">Tags: <a href="tag-eyetv.html" title="EyeTV" rel="tag">EyeTV</a>,
