  • Possible to use both Front Row AND Media Central with same Apple Remote?

    Dear Fellow Mac Users,
    I have just got a copy of Media Central as i want to use it to view movie files with due to its great codec support. however due to its slightly sluggish and cumbersome design i'd like to continue to use front row for my itunes and dvd needs. whatsmore i'd like to be able to command both programs when i want them using my apple remote. is this possible?

    Yes. I do this right now - mainly using Media Central, and switching to Front Row if I have .mkv files to watch.
    What I do is since you hit "Menu" to load Front Row, I just went into MediaCentral's preferences and had "Play" launch MediaCentral. Once you are in one, it 'grabs' the remote commands, so you shouldn't have to worry about it loading the other program.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • Front Row - Can you dim/turn off screen?

    Is there anyway to havethe screen dim or off when running Front Row, ie so can use it in a bedroom and not have the glow?

    Use keys F14 and F15 to adjust brightness "just prior" to using front row. At least those are my defaults.

  • Front Row: playing media from NAS

    Dear Community Members,
    I use NAS (WD ShareSpace) and plan to transfer my Movies, Pictures and Music libraries to a share on the NAS.
    As far as I understand, Front Row can easily hadle Movies folder because it actually reads folder contents.
    Can you share any experience of playing iTunes playlists and iPhoto events stored on a NAS from within Front Row please?

    quit itunes and copy your itunes library to the NAS and delete the original. then make an alias to the the new itunes library in the original location in your Music folder. this should work both with itunes and Front Row. but make sure the NAS is mounted at all times when you try to use itunes or Front Row.

  • Is there a Front Row music preference to turn off the song time bar?

    In fact, are there ANY preferences for the display of the music info at all?

    I don't believe the auto correct feature is turned off after 3x crossing it out in the autocorrect box. I constantly abbreviate "with" as "w/" and it always auto corrects me to an "a" without the slash. This has happened probably 20 times so my iPhone isn't learning anything from me. I have many other examples and am also frustrated with this feature. But, I am getting used to using the x box on the auto correct now.

  • Front Row alternative

    Hey all,
    For anyone interested, Equinux has an alternative to Front Row called Media Central. Click here to download.
    Jrsy

    TY Jersey man.
    It works nice and smoothly espc. when connected to a tv as 2nd monitor it just needs a few more channels.
    Tried the http://tv4all.com/portal.htm?http://tv4all.com/television/index.html?http://tv4a ll.com/television/13.htm and there is much more and most works with VLC instead of Windows media player.

  • Iconcertcal will not let you open Itunes through Front Row

    Itunes has not been opening through Front Row. I just got off the phone with tech support, and it was because of an Itunes download called iconcertcal. As soon as I removed it, everything worked fine! I don't see it listed on the Apple website anymore, maybe they removed it.

    will that delete all of my music, videos, games, etc off of my computer?

  • Front Row & keyboard illumination

    I'm not sure if I asked about this before, but I can't find it anywhere in the forum, so, here's the thing (possibly, again). I have the keyboard illumination set to turn itself off after 30 seconds sitting still. It works perfectly fine anywhere within OSX expect Front Row. It turns itself off when I'm in the Front Row menu, but not during movie playback in Front Row. Could anyone try this, I'd like to know if it's just my computer or if it's actually a normal behavior...

    No comments?

  • Sharing media over Front Row

    I have a two MacBook network and I'd like to be able to view media from either computer on the television via Front Row. How do I set up my files to be recognized under the "shared photos", "shared movies", "shared music" tabs? I've read posts of putting aliases in folders, but I'm really confused. Also do I have to AFP (?) to the other computer first? Thank you.

    For the video media that you can't import into iTunes try this:
    1. On the Mac that isn't going to be running Front Row, create an alias of the directory where the media is stored - right click the directory and choose Make Alias.
    2. On the same Mac make sure that Personal File Sharing and Remote Login are enabled under the Sharing section of System Preferences. Also make a note of the Mac's computer name (it'll be under the Computer Name text box in the same Sharing System Preferences).
    3. On the Mac that will be running Front Row, you need to access the other Mac. In Finder choose Go/Connect to Server. Type the name you got from step 2 and press Connect. You'll be asked to log on. Once done, your other Mac should appear as a 'drive' in the Finder side bar.
    4. Now, navigate to where you saved the alias in step 1 and drag it to the Movies folder on the Mac that will be playing Front Row.
    5. Start Front Row and you should have access to the media on the other Mac by navigating to the Videos/Movies section.
    That should work.
    It might look like a lot, but you only need to do it once. One thing is that you will need to manually reconnect to the other Mac (step 3) if you ever switch it off as you will lose the connection.
    Also, remember that Front Row will only play videos that can be opened and played in QuickTime.

  • How do I point Front Row to a media server using AppleShare?

    I haven't used Front Row much. Does it have to use the same library as my iTunes? What I'd like to do is point Front Row on my various Macs to my Lacie Media server. I fooled around with "settings" in Front Row but I'm not finding the server on my network.

    Drag an alias of your movies folder from the media server to your Front Row computer's movies folder inside your home account. Front Row will allow you to navigate using that alias.

  • I prefer Windows Media Center (but I would like to use Front Row)

    This is a plea to Apple that they would update Front Row with some more functionalities!
    I'm using my Mac mini as a HTPC and it's doing it's job absolutely great - thanks to Windows Media Center.... Awwww, I wish I didn't have to write that
    Well, it's all about functionality and at that point, I have the conviction that WMC is really kicking FR's a**. I really don't get why Apple has chosen to put a media center software (don't know if I dare to call it that) in their OS which lacks of so many important functions.
    One of the important things for me, in a media center software, is support for TV tuners, and guess what... Windows Media Center has this, but there's no support in Front Row.
    I would also like to see more integration with iTunes, so that I can use the Remote app on my iPhone to control the music in FR and so it's possible to use the party function (also with the Remote app, cause that works really great).
    This is only some of the functionalities I miss in Front Row, but I do hope that Apple will consider those so I can get rid of Windows from my machine.
    //Cheers

    Best way to convey your wishes to Apple is to send them feedback.

  • Media Center vs. Front Row

    I hate to say, I just watched the keynote, and Steve made a really thoughtless comment that got the crowd cheering.
    He had a comparison of the iMac remote, and 2 different Windows XP Media Center remotes from HP and Gateway. He pointed out that the MC remotes had around 50 buttons, and the iMac remote had 6. This is an absurd comparison.
    The Media Center remotes allow you to pause, play, record, rewind, and fastforward TV. They also have, EQ controls, volume, audio switching, video input, and many other useful controls.
    There's no surround sound with an iMac. There's no hi-def inputs with an iMac. There's just volume, play, rewind, fastforward. (with the remote).
    And yes, I own a Media Center PC, and such a copy Front Row is. He's bragging about it like it's new technology, when the Media Center has been around for 4 years or so. He even copied the in-menu interface (once you choose music or video, etc.).
    Vikram

    Vikram's point was that Media Center has been out first for 4 years and Apple just NOW came out with it. And copied parts of it besides. By the way, other things, like Widgets, has been out for PC's a while before they were included in Tiger. Apple is not as great as they, and Steve Jobs, think they are. And everything Apple is still overpriced compared to PC's.

  • Why did you drop Front Row?  I use my mac as a media centre and apple TV will not work (no DVD control)

    Front Row was an eligant way to access our media files (our nanny, my mom and other non mac users) found it easy.  Apple TV would work but there is no DVD contol so it is out as the mac is our media server.
    APPLE BRING BACK FRONT ROW!
