iEye Captain Icon    Managing multiple storage locations

Use an unlimited number of hard drives or archive folders to spread out or organize your recordings, yet they are all still available in EyeTV for full functionality. Choose just one location as your main EyeTV Archive, and then let iEye Captain link everything else into that archive. Once this is done, iEye Captain makes moving schedules and recordings easy and efficient.


Linking files and folders you have already moved out of your main EyeTV Archive

If you already had to move schedules or recordings outside of your main EyeTV Archive, use the "Link Items to EyeTV Archive" sub-menu of the Tools menu to link them back in without moving the actual files. Learn more

Changing where a schedule records to via the Schedule Info drawer

When the Schedule Info drawer is open, you can choose a different location from the handy "Records to" popup menu, and EyeTV will start recording that schedule to the new location. Learn more


Archive Mover drawer

While the Archive Mover drawer is open, select one or more items in the Schedules or Recordings Pane, and select a new location in the "Move to" popup menu. The items will be added to the Batch Queue, to move in the background while you continue to work. Learn more


Batch processing with the Batch Queue

Once schedules or recordings have been added to the Batch Queue, iEye Captain will move them one by one while you continue to work. When the move is complete, iEye Captain will wait until it is safe to activate the newly moved items, and then do so automatically. Learn more
