iEye Captain Developer NotePARTIAL Leopard Support - Version: 1.0.7, 5/25/2008 09:21PM PST

GrahamAJones
Hi (From Developer),

I always knew that Elgato would catch up with me -- iEye Captain was mainly useful during the time EyeTV was not delivering infrared or multiple hard drive support, and now that these are both possible within EyeTV, interest in my app has really bottomed out. As a result, I can not afford the development time necessary for a full Leopard update.

Version 1.0.8.3 has been workable on Leopard for most users -- if you have bugs to report, by all means please do email them to me. I can't promise any ETA, but if I get enough requests I will try to put some time in over the summer.

Thanks for understanding,
Graham Jones,
Developer.

Hi,

I have run into some snags, and will unfortunately not have a full Leopard-compatible version until February.

However, you may have some luck with this build (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD).

Thanks for your patience,

Hi (from developer),

I am currently working on Leopard compatibility and expect to release a free update within the next 2-3 weeks. However, I can confirm that until I release this update iEye Captain WILL NOT WORK ON MAC OS 10.5 / LEOPARD.

Thanks for your patience.

Graham Jones,
Developer.
