EyeTV Archive

EyeTV recordings and schedules, along with other information about your setup, are kept in the EyeTV Archive. The Archive is a normal folder, which has to be called “EyeTV Archive” for EyeTV to use it.

You can move the Archive folder wherever you like, but you must tell EyeTV where to look for it, in the Recording part of the Preferences.

Inside the Archive are a number of files, which have specific purposes:

EyeTV Archive.xml - Contains the overall structure of the Archive, for use with other programs that need to understand the Archive’s contents. If erased, it will be recreated upon restart.

EyeTVAutoTune.log - After an Auto Tune, information about the scanned fre- quencies is contained in this log. If you have tuning problems, sending this log to Customer Support can help with troubleshooting.

Live TV Buffer.eyetv - A package containing .eyetvi and .mpg files, of which the Live TV Buffer is consisted. These files will be erased and rewritten depending on the state of the Buffer.

Furthermore, In the EyeTV Archive recordings and schedules are contained within packages:

.eyetvsched - A package containing an .eyetvp file. It represents a schedule, and will disappear when recording is complete. If a schedule repeats, then the

.eyetvsched package will remain.

.eyetv - A package containing .eyetvi, .eyetvp and .eyetvr files, along with an

.mpg of the actual recording.

A package is a container, similar to a folder, that can’t be examined by double- clicking. To open these packages, right-click (or Option-click) and select Show Package Contents.

Backing up an EyeTV recording or schedule is very simple - move the .eyetv and .eyetvsched files with the corresponding names in and out of the Archive. Restart EyeTV for the changes to take effect.
