Mac Sage Client & iTunes

[ptaylor]

There's an option in the SageTV Preferences for the Client to "Automatically add recordings to the iTunes library". I've enabled it, but don't see that it's doing anything. Does it add shows to iTunes as new shows are recorded? If so, if I leave the client running will it add them? Or is this a feature that's only supposed to show up on the Server version of Sage?

Nice work on the Mac client, by the way. Works great on my Intel iMac, but not so much on my Mac Mini (1.42 Ghz PPC).

Thanks,
Paul

You either need the Apple MPEG-2 playback component for the MPEG-2 recordings to work within iTunes or transcode the recordings to an MPEG-4 (.mp4) file.

I do have the MPEG-2 component of quicktime.

I'm not seeing the files in iTunes...

Then it should be working, can you file a bug report on this? Also try manually importing a recording into iTunes, just to make sure it's possible.
