Media not showing in Front Row

I'm new to mac and just bought a macbook. There is probably an easy solution to this, but when i use Front Row, my TV Shows and Music Videos are not showing up. It says that I do not have any TV Shows in my iTunes Library. But obiviously i do.
How do I get them to show up??

It all depends where your saving your iTunes is saving its media (. i used to have problems with this but since I dont use iTunes for movies anymore I just put all of them directly into my movies folder and things work beautifully now.
P.S. File type is very important as well. I had some problems with .avi's and wmv's iTunes doesnt play nicely with others.

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.

Sony Bravia showing off Front Row is it real or rigged?

That's a Sony Bravia kdlv40a12u showing off Front Row on the new Mini's marketing pages (see link below). I know because I've got that model (there's a possibility it's the TV's smaller 32-inch sibling).
http://www.apple.com/macmini/frontrow.html
After my new Mini (duo) is done with its world courier tour I am hoping I'll just be able to plug it in (DVI to HDMI since there's no VGA socket on the TV anyway) and it'll work just as well the one on the Mini's marketing pages APPEARS to be working. BUT having read all of traffic about the difficulties people are having getting their HDTVs to plug and play nice out of the box, I am beginning to wonder. I read some of the press reports of the Intel Mini's launch and it was reported that Stevie's boys and girls were using the Bravia to show off the Mini in one or the "rooms". If anybody has successfully plugged and played with this combination, please post reassuance. If you've had to tweak with Displayconfigx or SwitchRes, please can you post your timings. If non of the above, I'll let you know how I get on. I have to admit to a sinking feeling since I did try with a PPC Mini and gave up after hours and hours of borrowing and guessing Displayconfigx settings.
Thanks
G5 and Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Lots of other bits

Why couldn't it be the 26" model?
You should be fine - DVI to HDMI is simply a pin
format change - the signals are preserved so nothing
more expensive than some copper is needed for that
cable to work (That being said, some of the list
prices are staggering for DVI-HDMI cables)
Could be the 26". I was going by the size of the Mini next to it. Apparently SJ thinks they look "nice".
I've tested the 26" XBR model with a new intel mini -
works out of the box. (Other than turning off the
overscan which was enabled by default - I prefer to
see my dock and menu bar rather than have video fill
every pixel...)
Thanks for input (no pun intended given we are talking about DVI to HDMI!). The Mini is now in the Netherlands, so it's getting closer all the time. When it arrives I'll plug it in and let readers of this thread how it goes, looks etc. I too am not fanatical about filling every last pixel as long as those that are used are giving their all in terms of clarity.
Cheers

Watch Rented TV shows in Front Row?

Hey guys... while in Front Row I can see the (rented) episode I want to watch, but when I start to watch the TV show, it states the I am not authorized to watch this content? Is this normal?

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing. I can watch it through iTunes but if try to watch the rented TV show through Front Row it says I'm not authorized. I've tried all the usual things like rebooting the router and the computer and deauthorizing and authorizing the computer but I can't figure it out. Maybe it just can't be done.

Playing iTunes TV show with Front Row

I'm having difficulties accessing my downloaded TV show from FRont Row. How do I access the TV show from my iTunes section of Front Row? It says the library does not contain any TV shows when attempted. Therefore I had to skip Front Row access to it and simply play it from iTunes. Thanks.

I'm having problems viewing TV shows too. If I click on a show to watch in FrontRow, the "status circle" (for lack of a more precise term) circles once and then I get nothing, not even a video preview next to the name. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I tried selecting all the video files in iTunes and choosing "Authorize Computer" but it didn't help. Strangely, if I first watch the video in iTunes, this sometimes helps.

ITunes Rental Movies Do Not Play in Front Row on Computer

Surely I cannot be the only person who would like to watch a rented iTunes movie on my computer using Front Row?
My iTunes library is on an external drive and when I open and browse Front Row, everything BUT the rented movies appear in my movie list. Purchased movies are there, video podcasts are there, home movies are there, just not the rented ones. Why is that?
I don't have an Apple TV, just a laptop an external drive and a desire to watch rented movies through an application designed to play ALL my media, not just select media.
And I haven't seen any info on Apple's website to indicate that rentals would not work with Front Row. And I do have all the latest Apple software updates.

Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) has access to your iTunes and iPhoto libraries without launching those applications. You're right, rented moves don't appear in Front Row and there have been a couple of Front Row updates since rented moves became available. The only thing I can think of is that the rental terms can't be enforced when the movie is played in Front Row instead of iTunes. For example, Front Row's access to your iTunes library is really read-only. You can't delete files, apply ratings or change any other settings on the files in your library through Front Row. I think the way iTunes handles rental movies, the file has to be updated with some kind of tag when you start to play it so iTunes knows how much longer you have to finish playing it. So, it's doubtful Front Row will be able to do this. I don't think Apple has ever made a statement one way or the other about this, it's just my opinion.

ALV not showing all the rows! Please help!

Hi Experts,
     I have webdynpro ALV report and I am using SALV_WD_TABLE as the reusable component. In component controller's WDDOINIT I have written the code for pulling teh data from R/3 table and binding it to ALV table.
In the view's WDDOMODIFYVIEW event I have written the following code to get subtotal and grand total of Qty column based on product column.
      I have coded like this:
      lr_field_settings ?= l_value.
lr_field = lr_field_settings->get_field( 'PRODUCT' ).
lr_field->if_salv_wd_sort~set_group_aggregation_allowed( ABAP_TRUE ).
lr_field->if_salv_wd_sort~create_sort_rule( ).
l_sortrule = lr_field->if_salv_wd_sort~GET_SORT_RULE( ).
l_sortrule->set_sort_order( if_salv_wd_c_sort=>sort_order_ascending ).
l_sortrule->set_group_aggregation( ABAP_TRUE ).
*...Aggregate Field PRODUCT
lr_field = lr_field_settings->get_field( 'QTY' ).
lr_field->if_salv_wd_aggr~create_aggr_rule( ).
lr_aggr_rule = lr_field->if_salv_wd_aggr~get_aggr_rule( ).
lr_aggr_rule->set_aggregation_type( if_salv_wd_c_aggregation=>aggrtype_total ).
It is working now but my ALV table is not showing all the rows. I have 6 products and it is showing from product 2. But it is calculating grand total and subtotal correctly. I am not able to see the first product row and subtotal for that. Even if I click on the ^ icon in the ALV table below it is not showing all the rows.
What could be the problem?
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

did you somehow manage to set the "first visible row" property on table object
to 2.   Only thing I can think of that could cause this effect.

InsertRow does not show the inserted row on the view

hello:
The code below works well and shows the row on the view when added. However, when there are several existing rows and I have to scroll to next pages. an insert button on that page does not show the new Row at all. Is there a way for me to see the row even if I scroll over to the last page and try an insert?
ViewObject myVO = this.getMyView();
Row newRow = myVO.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("Id", myId);
myO.insertRow(newRow);
Thanks

Hi,
I also have problems with code above for inserting a new row.
When I insert a new row in a table and click on column header (to change sorting), that row (and any other new row before committing) disappears from table. And if I commit that table (without missing row), the missing row reappears with next refresh.
Selection in that table (using SelectOne component with Autosubmit=true) also doesn't work with new rows (with existing rows it works fine). Selection allways sticks on first inserted row!
Something weird is happening here...
Please help.

Descriptions of Iphoto are not appearing in Front Row

I have several slideshows of photos in Iphoto. Those slideshow contains descriptions for certain photos.
When playing those slideshows via Front Row, the descriptions are not appearing.
Further, only the first track of music linked to those slideshows is playing and repeating its own, instead of going over to the 2nd and 3nd music partition.
Any idee how to solve those problems? Will Front row on the apple Tv or on the Mac mini show the same ?
Many thanks.

First of all many thanks for your help.
In Iphoto, below on the left of the window, when you select an album, you see the title, the date and hour, the Key word, the type and size of the selected photo in the album. Below that is the 'description' that you can enter. This description is displayed in Iphoto when playing the photo show. This description is also transferred to Idvd, what means that it is possible to burn a Dvd to be watched on your Tv. Synchronizing the same album with the Ipod transfers the photos but not the description. And, in my opinion, there is no way to do it. Exporting the album gives the possibility to select the title and the key-word of the photo, but not the description. I tried this out, and unfortunately it is not working (only the title is transferred). Exporting the same album to as Web Page gives the possibility to select the description for export.
As I am eventually interested in the acquisition of a Apple Tv or a Mac Mini as Media center, I tried on my Imac to use Front Row in order to be sure that the 'description' of my photos will show on Tv as it is the case via a Dvd.
And in fact, the 'description' is not taken into account by Front row.
I hope that this long story is clear enough and that somebody has a solution.
Thanks

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.

Subtitle files NOT loading - Quicktime / Front Row / VLC / WMplayer ????

Any help is greatly appreciated! I have downloaded subs so my Thai step son can watch some movies we have.... I'd really like to get this fixed so he can enjoy them too.
I've searched and searched only to find known glitches in both Front Row (no subs showing at all) and in Quicktime after an upgrade...
I'll explain first that I have the subtitles in the same director as the movie, name the same except the extension.
So, I tried every fix I found,.. to no avail. First, I installed VLC, loaded the .ssa (also tried .srt file too) directly into VLC... the suns show, but they're all messed up - not even in the correct language! I verified that I indeed have the font that the file calls - Cordia UPC (they are Thai subs), and I do.
So, I tried WMPlayer... it crashed nearly ever time I tried it, but again... with the subtitles would not show.
On to Perian 'plugin'.. installed it,.. version 1.1.. no dice.
Tried 'Front Row Trailers'.. no dice.
Tried my DIVX player just for the heck of it.. again, no go.
During this process, I re-downloaded the subs from multiple sites to see if there were something wrong w/ the copies I have... opensubs, thaisubtitles, etc.. all have the same outcome.
I know there has to be a way to 1)Get the subtitles to play for ALL the movies we have subs for, not just sporadically... and 2) Show them in the intended language.
To be of as much help as possible I have uploaded both the .ssa and .srt files here:
http://revivemarketing.org/uploads/movie.srt
http://revivemarketing.org/uploads/movie.ssa
Again, any help is greatly appreciated! I will also pass the info along as I come across others in the same situation.
Thanks again,
Jesse

BindingContext bc = BindingContext.getCurrent();
JUApplication japp =
(JUApplication)bc.getCurrentBindingsEntry().get("AMDataControl");
AMImpl Am =
(AMImpl)japp.getApplicationModule();
CCBSViewObjectImpl voDetailsVO =
Am.getDetailsVO();
voDetailsVO .executeEmptyRowSet();
Row newRow = voDetailsVO.createRow();
newRow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
newRow.setAttribute("Id", next_seq);
newRow.setAttribute("No", "3569");
newRow.setAttribute("Time", "15");
newRow.setAttribute("AgentId", "Sameera");
newRow.setAttribute("Type", "SA");

Events do not appear in Front Row / Shared Photos

Events do not appear when launching Photos in Front Row, only Recent Viewed, Last Import, Web Galleries and Albums.
Doesn't it kind of defeats the purpose to have Events, which was implemented to make organizing easier and eradicate the large number of albums we usually had?

Yes, I think the Event implementation is lacking in a few areas. On the positive side, I noticed that iMovie and iDVD '08 allow you to browse Events and add them as slideshows.
Now all we need is for Apple to update FrontRow to support Events, and also update iTunes/iPod so that we can view our events on the iPod.
Although Events is a re-hashed "Film Rolls" feature, I believe that many people would be happy to group photos by Events, using Albums only rarely. If we can get full support for Events in other apps, then it would be great!
