Hi there. It might be something to do with the workflow's configuration. Have you tried with a single file, and just type 'atc' in Alfred (no spaces)? I've also found that since the last update of Path Finder 6 (which I use), I've been getting a lot of problems with the workflow. I'll have to try using Finder to see whether the same problems occur.

UPDATE: October 24th, 2013 After updating to Mavericks, got some issues with the workflow, so I've updated with a fixed version. Also, since I was working around it, added a command to update the underlying gem.

UPDATE: October 16th, 2013 Finally got time to mess with this and fix the problem! The workflow is now substantially smaller (down to ~250Kb from 10.7Mb) as the required gems are now installed on the first use.

Sorry for not saying anything sooner, I've been completely swamped at work. Haven't been able to look into this yet, but I'll probably need to implement some way of installing the gems on the first use, as hpricot needs to install native extensions...

That is odd, I gave the workflow to a couple of friends to test, and they didn't have any problems. It appears to be a problem with hpricot, maybe statically linked something in my computer... I'll try looking into it.

[uPDATED: October 16th, 2013] [uPDATED: October 24th, 2013] I've released the Alfred 2 workflow (on github) to control the apple-tv-converter (on github) gem. thanks to Zhao Cai for his Alfred 2 Workflow Ruby Template. main features convert movies to MP4 format playable on apple tv (does not allow multiple conversions in parallel) can convert multiple files and/or folders in one batch fetches movie metadata from IMDB and tv shows metadata from TheTVDB.com can optionally automatically rename the converted file to the recommended format for Plex Media Server works on Mac OS X Mavericks caveats requires rvm to be installedcurrently needs to have any version of ruby v1.9.3 to work (can't install some gems on v1.8 and some dependencies don't work yet on v2.0) requires ffmpeg to be installed for the conversion process (recommended installation via Homebrew) notes Since the first usage will install the required gems, it can take a while before getting any kind of feedback (around 1 minute), so it is recommended that the first use is checking the conversion status. If all goes well, it should output Large Type message "Apple TV Converter was installed". usage convertingfirst, select one or more files or folders either in Finder or Path Finder... and then use the atc keyword on Alfred 2 to start the conversion after a while, you should see an mp4 file show up next to the original when the process completes, you'll get a notification status reportuse the keyword atc status to get a status report for the conversion in a Large Type message cancel conversionuse the keyword atc cancel to cancel the conversion. you'll get a notification indicating that the cancelation was requested... and another one when the process actually stops note: no cleanup is made, and a partly converted file will be left on the directory. updateuse the keyword atc update to update the underlying apple-tv-converter gem. you'll get a notification stating whether the update isn't necessary or one indicating which version the gem was updated to troubleshooting if you find any bug, or have any problems using this, feel free to get in touch with me.
