I recently purchased an Apple TV so I could easily watch video podcasts on my tv. It does that very well, but Apple has made some inexplicable design decisions and I am trying to overcome one of them.
You can manually download podcasts using the Apple TV, however if you want to automatically download them you have to use Itunes. That works well, Itunes will faithfully check for new podcasts whatever time interval you choose.
What Itunes will not do is automatically sync the new podcasts it has just downloaded to your Apple TV. You either have to manually ask it to sync by pressing a button or it will do it when the program starts.
I am looking for a program that will end Itunes and then restart it on some type of schedule. I have found a few programs to restart a program that has crashed or ended, but nothing that will end a program.
I found this program: Link but before I purchased it I was going to see if there was anything (of course) free.
Has anyone seen anything that would do that?
Thanks for any ideas..
