No "itunes top movie" in my front row

I cannot find the "itunes top movie" option in the movie section of Front row, anyone can give me some suggestion how can i find out that option please?
I already updated the front row and itunes.

Thx for any help!!!!!

Actually, the top movies/music of Front Row 2 are not related to iTunes at all. I think the store is derived from the IP address initiating the request to Apple's servers.
To fix your problem, open a Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), paste the following command:
*defaults delete com.apple.frontrow MusicStoreFrontID && killall "Front Row"*
then hit enter. Now, you can relaunch Front Row and you should have your top movies restored.
Also, as Douglas noted, you must have a working internet connection for this content to be available.

Front Row- iTunes Top Movies

On Front Row, it gives you a list of iTunes Top Movies in the Movies Folder. If I click one will it play the whole movie for free?

No. All that you are referring to is just a listing. At most you will get a 3o second preview. You actually have to buy movies to play the entire length.

ITunes Top Movies

OK. Newbie question here. I selected a top movie in the "iTunes Top Movies Selection" and it started playing immediately (and indicated it was 2 hours 20 minutes long). I then cancelled (escaped out). I assumed that it would ask me if I wanted to rent the movie? How does that work? I hope it doesn't automatically charge my iTunes account without checking first?

It was definitely Front Row. The menu looks like the this:
http://www.apple.com/imac/software/frontrow.html
I selected the first menu item, then the Top Movies selection, and then selected the movie ("Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"). Maybe this is a new version of Front Row?

Strange numbers show below in movie section in front row

I have front row working on my mac mini, for some strange reason when i goto the movie section of front row I get iTunes Top films/ThTrailers/Movies folder(My movies). But under this I get a whole list of files named with numbers and letters? I'm not sure where these come from.
any ideas
lister

Basically it's before that.. When I first start up frontrow and head to movies i get a list to choose from:
iTunes Top films
ThTrailers
Movies folder(My movies)
012568456888H1H34887HEN9
014153668NMK8H14088710U9
012568456888H1H34887HEN9
014153668NMK8H14088710U9
etc...
Im not sure where these numbers come from and what they are? There's a whole bunch of them.. When I select one in the side part where it displays an image there is a bright white graphic rotating.
I don;t use the iTunes store so my iTunes is probably just set on UK
any ideas

HD Movie Rentals on Front Row or just Apple TV

I saw the keynote where you can get HD movie rentals with apple TV. Will this be possible through Front Row on any computer or just with Apple TV?

Does iTunes Rentals work with Front Row, because the movies don't show up in my the movies list in Front Row?

Why a bright green screen before movie plays on Front Row?

Before I reinstalled Leopard the other day all .avi movie files on Front Row would play immediately on selection. Now, for a brief moment, the screen turns bright green before starting a number of the movies. Not all are affected. But those that are come from the same initial bit torrent source.

It seems to be part of the file as it shows when playing direct on QuickTime. Interestingly there's no green screen when the same file is played on another computer. And it didn't happen on this computer before re-install. Also, when the same files are played in QuickTime the QT pane reduces in size to smallest possible in the first few seconds of playing. If I enter full screen, the pane size doesn't reduce.

Itunes won't start, iPhoto / Front Row Hang after Leopard install

I upgraded a Intel 2.0MHz 24" iMac this morning. I have never had any upgrade problems before. Last night the iLife 8.1.1 update was installed. Was using iTunes all morning. I got my Leopard CD via Fedex and popped it in. Install went smoothly with no issues. The only thing out of the ordinary during the installation was that I hit cancel when the Time Machine setup opened because I don't have a hard disc ready for it yet.
All seems to be OK except for iTunes, iPhoto, and Front Row.
1. iTunes hangs every time I try to start it and I have to Force Quit. Library is on an external drive that is available and working in Finder.
2. iPhoto will open and show my library, but hangs anytime I chose Edit. Library is on main drive, but I have preferences set not to have iPhoto copy items to the library. I tried rebuilding library but that hangs too.
3. Front Row hangs when I choose music or movies. I can't exit it and have to do a hard shutdown.
This is my first disappointment since switching about six months ago. Any insight on how to fix this would be appreciated. I am fully backed up prior to install, but it was not a bootable backup.

I seem to have located the problem. I disabled my Perian install and iTunes, iPhoto, and Front Row started working. I also reinstalled the MPEG2 support for Quicktime, but I believe Perian is what fixed the issue.

Movie library from Front Row

i just realized that my front row is gone. I need to know where my library of movies has disappeared to so that I can still access those. Help, please.

Front row went away with Lion. Depending on hoe you updated your movies may still be in your movies folder. Movies can also be stored in iTunes.

Can't play movie files in front row...

Hello,
I just got a new Macbook Pro (With lepoard) and cannot get my movie to play in Front Row. I could do it no problem in Tiger. I keep getting the message "The selected video could not be played--the format was not recognized."
The picture of the video shows up next to it, but it does not play and gives the above message.
Please help me out, as this is extremely frustrating. Thanks.

I had the same problem (only with the trailers and top (Movies and TV), it was resolved (unfortunately I don't remember how, may be with an upgrade) and now I have it again. These are files created by apple therefore there is no reason why a 3rd party codec would be needed to play them.

Any way to have a movies playlist in Front Row?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to set up Front Row (most recent version) so that it will play multiple movie files (within the movies folder) in a row? I'd like to set it and forget it sometimes and just have it play a bunch of things in a row. I could live with it if it just would play all contents of a folder sequentially, but ideally I'd love to see a playlist feature (like iTunes has for music) for movies. I would love to set up my own TV channel so to speak - lining up what's on each night. Or perhaps even utilizing something like a smart playlist that will dynamically create random viewing based on the criteria you specify for tags, etc.
I read about someone who suggested saving movies (all of mine are Xvid - been using them on my Phillips DVD player for the last year) in QuickTime as "reference files" and then putting those into iTunes to trick the system (since Xvid won't play in iTunes). Would doing something like this allow for video playlists?
Thanks!

Not quite yet. However, the newest line of iPods, including the new iPod nano (video) does support playing video playlists. This would indicate that Apple is aware of this feature and it may be coming to other hardware or software in the future. I might suggest you send Mac OS X feedbac to Apple and request this feature in Front Row.

Sharing iTunes Music between accounts in Front Row

I have two accounts set on my computer. The primary account shares it's iTunes library with the secondary one. The shared music works fine inside of iTunes but when when I attempt to find the shared music on the secondary account via Front Row it states that it cannot find Shared Music. Does Front Row not have access to the shared music on other accounts on the same computer?
All my apps have the most resent updates.

I have the same problem. I think Cory made an assumption in his reply, that there is music in the library of the secondary accounts iTunes. My Secondary Account has no music at all in the iTunes library. In iTunes for the Secondary Account there are two sources of shared music available in the shared music folder, both play fine from iTunes. The first source is shared music from my primary accounts iTunes library, the second source is from the library of an XP based machine on my network.
When accessing shared music from Front Row logged in on the secondary account, the music shared from the XP machine is available as listed and named in iTunes, the music shared from the primary accounts iTunes library is not available.
Purchased the Mac Mini Dual Core yesterday, did all updates to software yesterday. Any ideas, anyone?

ITunes Crashes When Launched by Front Row

Hey everyone,
If iTunes isn't running when I launch Front Row, I have some issues when I try to play its music through the Front Row interface. I can select "Music" just fine from the four-icon menu, but as soon as I try "Playlists" or "Artists" or anything, I just get the pinwheel to eternity. If I use the Force Quit keyboard shortcut, i'm immediately spat back to my desktop, where I'm informed that iTunes has unexpectedly quit. If I choose Reopen, though, it will keep quitting until I choose Cancel. Only when I open iTunes myself does the crash loop stop.
Help me! It's really, really annoying to have to make sure that iTunes is running every time I want to use Front Row. And it also sort of defeats the purpose of Front Row in the first place.
Thanks,
Jake

Just so you guys know - I just fixed the issue by clearing out the Scripts and Plugins folders in Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Library/iTunes.
I guess I'll add them back in one by one to see which caused the issue. I can't remember which scripts I had - I know there was iTunes-BPM and Art to iChat. Anyone have those? For visualizers I had Gaslight and iConcertCal.
If you had one of these, let's figure it out so we can let the developer know about this bug.

Networked iTunes music wont play in Front Row......initially (repeatedly!)

Hi
On my 4th day in Mac world, My (very nearly) fab Mac mini will play content from my networked HDD fine, but when I wake the Mac up from sleep, nothing will play in Front Row
When I double click the song in iTunes, it plays. I can then play all music in Front Row.
In iTunes, some music appears with an "!" next to it, but when I double click it - the song plays immediately, but will skip the next "!" marked song unless I double click it
What I've done since installing OS x:-
1. Set music location in iTunes to \\HDD\Music
2. Rescanned library
3. Added alias to \\HDD\video and \\HDD\photos in appropriate folders and scanned with iMovie and iPhoto - all media will now play in FR
4. exported itunes playlists from my Windows PC and imported to Mac
5. Clicked through ALL songs on main iPod sync playlist to remove "!"
6. Successfully sync'd iPod with everything (except Apps - scared of this at the mo!)
Any suggestions would be appreciated....thinking it may have something to do with importing the playlist or the external HDD doesn't mount unless I go via iTunes
However I've spent 10 years in Windows and am a bit lost

...but when I wake the Mac up from sleep, nothing will play in Front Row...
Sleep disconnects all network connections. I would guess your Mac mini (and therefore Front Row) has lost contact with your networked hard drive. Once it re-establishes a connection, you've got your songs back. Perhaps you should set the screen but not the computer to sleep? You can adjust that with the Energy Saver System Preferences. I never turned my Mac mini off (except for software updates) or let it sleep for more than two years without any issues.

ITunes 7 Video playback on Front Row

Hi.
I've recently upgraded to iTunes 7 and my front row will no longer play my videos. My other music works fine and i can still play videos via iTunes, but front row just tells me i have no videos in my library.
It worked perfectly with iTunes 6. It's just stopped since the download.
Can anyone help. Please!!!

Removing Movie Title in Front Row

I recently bought my new iMac 24" and have attempted to use Front Row, but see there is a title of a video showing on the Movie Menu that I do not want. I went to the User Movie directory, removed the file with that name, but the title still shows on the Front Row Movie Menu. I have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I have tried to find a preferences folder that might be retaining this title in the cache but can't find one.
Any idea how to remove this unwanted title from my Movies Menu?

I have the same problem with Front Row Movie trailers. I connect to the internet via high speed DSL. Watching movie trailers takes at least 10-15 minutes to fully load. I have no other network activity taking place. I get the same message 'cannot connect to movie server' then I press PLAY on the remote and the trailer PLAYs instantly but hangs after only two seconds. If I wait another few minutes I get only another 2 seconds out of the trailer. This goes on two seconds at a time before I give up.
What is the required datarate for the the movie trailer to play seemlessly anyway? Can somebody answer this?
