10.5: Integrate EyeTV with Front Row via PyeTV
Authored by: jchrist on May 03, '08 10:39:17AM

I'm aware of the hidden preference to change the behavior of the "menu" button on the apple remote, but this isn't really integration of EyeTV and Front Row---that preference just makes it a bit easier to toggle between EyeTV and Front Row.

With earlier versions of EyeTV, at least the menus looked the same, but with EyeTV 3, the on-screen menu in EyeTV looks entirely different from the Front Row one, so it's not a clean user experience.

Finally, I personally find using the EyeTV menu cumbersome. After you've watched a recording, if you want to delete it with the EyeTV menus, it takes about six steps to find the recording again in the recording list and delete it. With PyeTV, there's a "delete" option right there, one step away.

I've tried to make the EyeTV/Front Row integration as seamless as possible, but I'm always interested in ways it can be improved. What don't you like?
