Eyetv auto update dvb guide

This way you can identify all the elements of the window, then go into each element until you know how to address them in your script.

The switch to EyeTV-Programs works fine. The "entire contents" give a lot of output. Perhaps its easy for you to identify the error. Contents of menu 1 also causing an error. Ha ha yep I get it. Your dialogs are not English dialogs, so there is no menu item called "Update DVB Program Guide"; the text inside the quotes must be the exact text of the menu item that you would select, which will be something in German.

Also your window 1 seems to have lots more UI elements than mine! So it should be possible to open that pop up button using Applescript. Use code like this:. Maybe the delay must be longer? But this should open that particular pop-up. With luck, this pop-up is the pop-up that includes the menu with the menu item you need.

That should work. Of course, it may be that pop up button 1 is not the correct pop up button or UI element to open the menu you need. One thing that can help is to get Apple's accessibility inspector application available within XCode package contents.

If you mouse over an element it will show the heirachy of the element. Unfortunately it does not directly show the AppleScript to use, but it does show in principle the object heiracy. Even easier, you could try the 30 day free period of UI Element Inspector which also browses UI elements but much nicer provides AppleScript code snippets that should 'just work'. You're almost there I think, just figure which elements require opening and put the actual text of the menu for the menu item you want.

But I got the adviced Accessibility Inspector and shot 2 Pics with hopefully interesting information. Im asking myself wether the script makes a difference wether you simulate a "left click" or an "alternative right click", because in my version i have to do a right click to get the popup menu.

There is, in the toolbar, just to the right of the 'eyetv' logo, a button with a gear icon. This is much easier to script. My script targets this button using normal click. Please show the Accessibility inspector when this is opened, first when you have the mouse over the gear but not clicked, then when open and the mouse is over the command that updates your EPG database.

Then you can script it without control-clicking. But in your case, the left menu on this window is very complex as you can see. It is much easier to target the gear icon at the top. Mar 31, PM.

If i run the script or program with a fresh opened Eyetv or even shuted down EyeTV it brings up the same error as in the beginning.
