ATV or Front Row support for SIP client

Hi,
Does anyone have any visability of the roadmap for the inclusion of a SIP client in either FR or ATV. FR and ATV now brings powerful CPU's connected to High Def plasma's, and It would be really cool to enable a SIP client that could run in parallel with home SIP phone and present accept/reject call onscreen and enable escalation to a video call.

I have just grokked the Discussions Terms of Use and I agree that there is a clear statement "Speculations/rumors about unannounced products." are not welcome.
However, I feel the balancing statement "Feedback about new feature requests or product enhancements are welcome too" permits some latitude for discussion.
Pedantically, Front Row is released and to add it to the Mac Mini would be a major product enhancement and a new feature!
I think many Mac Mini users (and I own 3) would like to try an "officially released" Front Row for the Mac Mini. I think this extremely cool interface would be an ideal product enhancement for operating from the Sofa/Divan with output to a large LCD display. I think a good new feature request would be permitting Bluetooth Keyboard Front Row functionality on older systems that do not have the remote control necessary interfaces.

Front Row & Grab for Tiger

I am looking for Apple's Front Row application and also the Grab one for OS Tiger. Where can I download these programs? I'm having a hard time finding valid links online.

HI,
The only way to use Grab is to purchase the Mac OS X Tiger. These programs are not available for download. Front Row is available on Leopard.
You might be able to get a Tiger DVD from Apple, *but no guarantees*.
Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
Check out Amazon.

Before purchasing Tiger make sure your Mac meets the minimum requirements.

Front Row hangs for 5-10 seconds on TV Shows

I recently started trying to use Front Row on my Macbookpro so the kids could watch their TV Shows and Movies.
Annoyingly, when I active FrontRow with the remote it seems to hang for 5-10 seconds when I select TV shows from the menu before showing the list of TV Shows.
It is then very slow and jerky when scrolling up and down the list.
Why would this be? Its making it somewhat unuser friendly.

I wonder if it's related to the antenna issue. Basically, FaceTime has sufficient bandwidth to work until my hand covers up the Wi-Fi antenna on the left side in the wrong way, thus attenuating the 802.11 signal and decreasing the link speed.
I will do some test to verify. It would be nice if you guys can do the same too.

Using Front Row IR for Logitech infrared mouse?

Hi,
my mighty mouse felt, opened up and died. The wheel has gone for good (tried to clean it but this time no luck). So I have to resort to my old IR logitech mouse. Since to use the IR dongle is pretty annoying, is there any chance to connect it to the in-built IR used by Front Row? Thanks in advance.

"I am at a loss and do not want to have to give up my macbook pro for a week to wait on them to repair/troubleshoot. Any thoughts?"
Appears you have no choice if you want your computer IR repaired properly. If your computer is still under the 1 year warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can always request for a replacement until your computer is repaired.

Is Front Row available for sale?

It looks like a great program, though it is only shipping with the newer models. Anyone know if can be downloaded or purchased?

The original hack was illegal as it distributed software which wasn't available for download.
The 1.0.1 update, however is available for download directly from the Apple site and it's pretty easy to get it to work.
You'll need Pacifist, which lets you open .pkg files and Front Row Enabler, which allows it to run on your Mac. Neither of these are illegal and are available at all of the update sites.
Funny thing is, Front Row works flawlessly on my MDD G4, but has an iPhoto communication error on my iSight iMac LOL
There's an open source program called center stage which was around well before Front Row ever came out - I assume this is the "copy cat" program referred to above.

VPLS support for SIP-600 and 10GE-SPA

Hello all,
is SIP-600 (7600-SIP-600) with Cisco 1-port 10GE SPA V2 (SPA-1X10GE-L-V2) support VPLS ?
i see in datasheet SIP-600 support for VPLS but in 10GESPA datasheet there is no VPLS features support
Thanks
Regards,

Hello,
Yes, it should.
You could check Table 4-9 VPLS Feature Compatibility by SIP and SPA Combination:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/7600series/76cfgsip.html#wp1270728
There are some restricition about H-VPLS on c7600/SIP, like it could be seen at the "VPLS Configuration Guidelines"
section of above link. But they are generic for SIP-600 itself:
– H-VPLS with Q-in-Q edge—Requires a Cisco 7600 SIP-600 in the uplink, and any LAN port or Cisco 7600 SIP-600 on the downlink.
- H-VPLS with MPLS edge requires either an OSM module, Cisco 7600 SIP-600, or Cisco 7600 SIP-400 in both the downlink (facing UPE) and uplink (MPLS core).
As for SPAs - restriction is about H-VPLS and FastEthernet one:
"Note: H-VPLS is not available on Fast Ethernet SPAs"

AppleTV support for slingbox client

It would great to have all my media stuff in one place. Add slingbox client to AppleTV APPs. Airplay is ok but it ties up my ipad

I think a Sling Player app for the ATV would be a great addition. I would bet Sling is waiting for a way to charge another outrageous fee for the app.
Send Apple Feedback a note. http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
I also sent Sling Media a note on the topic as well.

Front Row Video Support

I am using Front Row on my intel iMac. I am trying to find out what video formats it supports and if there is any configuration that can be done for Front Row. Does Front Row support MPEG2 video display?
intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Are you looking for someone to help, or just try to criticize?
Yes, I know that Apple is not perfect, but they are as close to being perfect as any other company I know. Just look at Microsoft and try to say the word perfect, it does not even fit into their way of thinking.
Now...
Apple does not support copying movies, for one simple fact. They have the music/recording industries snooping down their backs every waking moment because of the iPod and iTunes. Apple of all companies of course would never support copying movies anyway, they would not risk their reputation. Not only that, but Front Row, and iTunes is just music storing softwares anyway. Front Row is a playback application, and I have Windows MCE (Stupid Media Center Edition), and it does not copy movies either.
However...
There are third-party application that you can easily download and install that will copy the movies for you. HandBrake (http://handbrake.m0k.org/) is one such app.
Please quit criticizing Apple for it's brand new application which is in its first version, that beat's Windows Media Centers 3rd Edition. And Apple's software is first class. If you want crap, then just look at some of Microsoft's software, even on the Mac platform it is horrible.
And you can easily add folders, since front row just look in your users movies folder, you can add the folders there, and drop the media file in.

Hardware alternative to Front Row for pre-iSight G5 iMac?

Hey there, I know I've asked previously if there was a version of Front Row available for G5 iMacs that didn't come w/ the iSight built-in. Since I'm considering replacing my PC altogether with this machine (and getting a MacBook for mobile use), I'm really only missing one thing... We use the PC for pushing video out to our TV for edited TV shows or movies. We have an ATI Remote Wonder which uses a USB-connected RF remote to play, pause, skip, etc. Does such a device exist for the pre-isight model imacs? Essentially I'd like to be able to play a DVD or a movie in VLC and be able to pause, skip back, etc. without going to the machine. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
-Mike

As it turns out the Remote Wonder software for Mac did just about everything I needed it to! Anyone looking for a somewhat close match to front row (or at least remote control) should look for a used Remote Wonder RF remote - so far it's working great. (Already had it so no extra dough either!) I like this Mac more and more every day.

Front Row won't play .mp4 files

I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
Please help!!

iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

Front Row with a networked audio system

Hey everybody!
Has anyone been streaming content (divx, xvid, mp3) from a NAS via front row, anyone have any experiences of this?
Does front row support Networked audio systems? (NAS)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Right now, Apple only supports Front Row on Macs that have a built-in infrared receiver and shipped with an Apple remote. However, when Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is released, it will include Front Row for all Macs that are compatible with Leopard (like your Mac Pro). You can use the keyboard to run Front Row (Apple-esc opens it, for example), so you'll have an option if you upgrade when it's released.
If you want to use similar software now, you can install .

Front Row Locking up

Hello Front Row Support forum!
I recently upgraded to Leopard (Much <3 for the new version of OS X) and I've actually started using Front Row. I really like the new look and it fits into my lifestyle more now to use it.
Unfortunately though, Front Row has been periodically locking up when I listen to music. It becomes completely non-responsive and I can't even force my way out of it. I've actually had to resort to turning my laptop completely off
Any suggestions, fixes, or magic tricks to help me?

I have the same problem with locking up. And the escape key combo doesn't work, I'm sorry to say.
As I wrote in another post ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1393270&tstart=0 ) it seems (I know this will sound idiotic) to lock up only when the song name is so long that it must scroll (while the song is playing) to show the whole name (this is mainly classical music, which often has long "song" titles). It is when that annoying "flip" occurs, putting the album and song info on the reverse sides, that these Front Row locks always seem to happen. Though at other times the lock seems to come arbitrarily. Sounds very similar to all the problems described above.

New Front Row, iTunes and Quick Time updater

For user that not aware, there is a new updater for mac which is Front Row 1.3, iTunes 7.0.0 and QuickTime 7.1.3.
For my self, I think the iTunes 7.0.0 is excellent, I found it helpfull to categorize the video and TVshow that I have into a big art image with all the titles next to it instead of showing all as list or as icon in previous iTunes. Not to mention that we can buy a full length dvd movie ($9.99).
I wish the price is the same as songs or regular video ($2.99)...lol
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Check the link above or use your software updater on your apple menu bar.
Good Luck and Enjoy.

The Updates
A. iTunes
I like the new iTunes a lot, but my major problem is that my music videos (from iTunes store and other sources) are in my music library! When I am typing or on the internet, iTunes is in mini player mode. All of a sudden a video window pops up and starts playing (what else) a video. I don't like that. The music and video mix transfers over to the iPod also. The main reason I don't like it (on the iPod) is because the audio for a video is different than the original song. An example of this is, Don't Speak -by: No doubt.
B. Front Row
I always liked Front Row and don't really notice any changes to it. It used to be a little slow on the exit, but after the update works like normal again. Therefore, I assume the update for Front Row was for the inner workings of the application. No complaints here.
C. Quick Time
I don't really use Quick Time. I do most of my video watching in iTunes of Front Row because I don't have to pay Apple to watch stuff full screen with those applications. Although, most of my videos are in Quick Time format because it takes anywhere from two (2) too thirty (30) seconds for Front Row to load Windows Media Video files from my external HD. (I guess that IS a complaint for Front Row, but don't tell him. ^_^)
D. iPod v. 1.2
Nice! 1) I can adjust the screen brightness (to conserve battery life). 2) Quick scroll thinggy (I lack the technical jargon to describe it). 3) Screen has a little brightness while it's connected to my computer. 'Nuf said.
E. Summary
I update anything Apple tells me to. But I am having some regrets about iTunes. Nothing that is going to make me uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from a CD (say... the CD that came with my iPod). I have sent a suggestion to Apple, so if you don't like the way things are, I suggest you do the same because posting here will do little to get it fixed. To do it, go to the menu bar while in iTunes and click:
iTunes>Provide iTunes feedback
It should be something similar in Windows, if any of you guys and gals are reading this. Everything else is fine.
