iEye Captain Icon    Playlists with EyeTV 1.x

If you don't have EyeTV 2, iEye Captain is the only way to have playlists. Learn about the similarities and differences with playlists you may have seen in other applications.

You can have an unlimited number of playlists, which you can rename by double-clicking in the Playlists pane. To add schedules and/or recordings, just select the schedules and recordings you wish to add, and choose the playlist you want to add them to from the “Add selected items to playlist…” popup button. From this section, you can also click the “Remove” button to remove selected items from the current playlist, click the “Clear” button to completely clear the current playlist, Also, you can use the “Delete” button to delete a playlist. For these last three options, holding down the option key will prevent the confirmation dialog.

IMPORTANT: ALL selected items will be added – if you are adding recordings and do NOT want schedules to be added too, you must ensure that you deselect any selected schedules, either by Command-clicking, or clicking anywhere in the empty area beneath the schedules. The same applies if you are adding schedules and do not want the selected recordings to be added too.

SMART PLAYLISTS: If you have more than one recording or schedule with the same name (like recordings of a repeating schedule), you only need to add one into your playlist… If you then hit the “Smart” checkbox for that playlist, iEye Captain will automatically find all other items with the same name and add them to the found set.

IMPORTANT: To remove items from a Smart Playlist, you must first deselect the “Smart” checkbox, select the items you wish to remove, and click the “Remove” button. Holding down the option key will prevent the confirmation dialog.
