Love it! Will EyeTV need to be running in the background though?

The way the script is originally coded, yes, Eyetv will have to be running in the background on each computer using this script. However, I messed with the script enough to know that it can be used to mirror an eyetv from one computer onto xbmc of another. Combine this with a simple looking skin like the PM3 EPG, modified of course, adn I bet you can get full eyetv integration similar to pytv.
While auto-exporting to the AppleTV from EyeTV recordings is nice - it's a huge waste of conversion time, HDD space, and processing power for me when I already get the recorded title on a NAS HDD (in my EyeTV destination folder), inside an EyeTV ".eyetvsched" or ".eyetv" package as an MPG.
It also requires that I have iTunes running on my computer to view the title on the AppleTV.
In XBMC/AppleTV I can drill down and find/play that MPG title on the ATV without issues. I do not need to have iTunes running and there is no need to import/export or convert the file to anything, anywhere. I can view it instantly after the recording is done - no waiting for conversions or exporting.
I don't know much about about scripts (never needed them) - but seems to me it would be a no brainer to write something to auto-remove the MPG from the package - and rename it as the recording's title and stick it in a directory where XBMC can addd it to a library for scraping etc..
Is there such a utility or routine out there - something that can help XBMC just automatically pull out these MPG files and rename them to the ETV file name? It's easily done manually, but what a hassle.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but there is an addon to nicely display the recordings from your EyeTV Library.
