Restoring front row on mountain lion

Question

When LION was released, I dug into my backup files to find the software pieces that were removed, and was very easily able to restore Front Row functionality to me machines.
All of those elements remaind in the System/Library folders where they resided, however in MOUNTAIN LION certain other elements have changed, for instance, one of the calls made by the program is to: System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BezelServices.framework/Versions/A/BezelServic es where even though the framework exists the instructions have been removed in the updating of BezelSerices.
This is also true of several other instructions in Frameworks that have been updated.
I, frankly, don't understand why thes individual lines of code could not have been preserved in the various elements that still remain. Front Row functioned nicely and provided a visually pleasing way to access media files, and play them.
ANYONE CAN TRACE THE CALLS THAT CAN NO LONGER FIND INSTRUCTIONS TO EXECUTE by reviewing the system log, and anyone with coding ability could probably add back the instructions and replace them in the appropriate libraries.

Answer 1

In case you haven't found a solution (I've stayed on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 for the exact same reason) you can install XMBC. Frankly it's BETTER than front row, can accesss every external drive, folder, and more importantly PLAY every type of video and audio codec WITHOUT CONVERSION just like in Front Row. iTunes propiatary H264 AAC codec combo for all video is wearing me thin. Having to convert every movie to it, taking HOURS sometimes is just too much. Even better about XMBC is there are about 100+ plugins, some of which search and automatically find metadata from places like IMDB and associate it w/each movie.
