Using understudy with hulu in front row

Hi, I have been using understudy for front row for sometime. I pretty much can modify file menus etc so I know my way around the core files but I seem to have a problem watching anything on hulu using understudy. I supply my feed and everything shows up properly in understudy but when I click to watch a tv show for example I get the famous Mac spinning wheel and then get taken to a hulu page that contains only its template and a big black screen where the video would normally be. Has anyone else had this experience and have you found a solution to it?

QQ- How did you get understudy to install. I keep getting an error telling me it required 10.5? I see your profile says your machine is running 10.4.11 like mine.

  • "Understudy" (Netflix/Hulu in Front Row))

    Hi.
    Yesterday, I discovered "Understudy". When installed on my Intel iMac it adds Menu Options to stream Netflix and/or Hulu content within Front Row. It seems to work pretty well, with some hiccups. Wish it was available for TV too. My question is: Has anyone been ale to use Understudy on a Mac G5. I'd like to install it on my G5 Quad but first should like feedback from someone who has already tried it on a non-Intel Mac. Also I have heard that there's a version of "Silverlight" that works with Power PC Macs, thereby allowing streaming from Netflix. Any info out there from readers of this forum?

  • Big Mini Trouble with DVD and Front Row

    Set-Up
    I am trying to use my mac mini as a media centre connected to a 42" sharp aquos 1080HD, for sound i use a 5.1 bose speaker set-up, which is irrelevant to my problem, but the mac interfaces with a yamaha rxv661B 7.1 channel digital home theatre receiver, via DVI to HDMI and sound through head phone to RCA set-up that will soon be upgraded to optical. All connected to the appropriate DVD channels on the recevier, video goes to the TV via HDMI. My set-up has no DVD player other than the super drive on the mac mini, the only other input is a Bell ExpressVu 9200 PVR.
    My Problem
    1. Playing DVDs the brightness on the picture fluctuates in a very regular wave like pulse. What am I doing wrong?
    2. Front Row Crashes the computer whenever I try to access any of the movie files. The files play fine when accessed directly or through itunes but crash the system in front row. DVDs play, and the online movie clips play, and music and picture content are no problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    As an aside does anyone know if youtube will be available to non Apple-TV front row users, as well?

    Everything is plugged into a three pronged plug using a relatively sophisticated surge protecting power bar, but you may be on to something, the power bar has a light to indicate if it is properly grounded and that has not lit up since its been in use, perhaps the outlet isn't properly grounded, I live in a recently renovated 100yr old home.
    As for the files they are a mixture of mpg, mov and a number of m4v (that might be my postal not a file format) I mean the ipod format, a lot of the video files I produce I put directly into the ipod ready format.

  • IMac (Original shipped with Tiger) and Front Row

    Quick question
    If i have an iMac, the first one that was shipped with Tiger back in June 2005 and i purchase the Apple Remote, will it be compatible with my computer and will it come with Front Row, or is it exclusively only for iMac's shipping with the Remote and iPods with a Universal Dock?

    Is your profile correct? Is there a reason you're still running Mac OS X 10.4.6? I think you'll need to make sure your iLife applications and iTunes are up-to-date as well as Mac OS X for everything to work correctly together. Mac OS X can be updated to 10.4.11, iTunes can be updated to 7.6.1 and QuickTime can be updated to 7.4.5 all for free. Which version of iLife do you have? '06 or '08? You'll need to make sure you have the most recent versions of iPhoto as well...

  • ADOBE Form Using Table with dynamic number of rows

    Hi All
    First some information about our infrastructure:
    - AdobeDesigner 7.1 in the Developerstudio
    - SAP-Portal 7.0 SP15
    I have a View with tabstrips and behind the tabs i have defined an event. On one Tab I included a ADOBE-Form with Table. The Data for the PDF sould only filled in the context for the Form when i jump to this Tab. I created the Form by using this documentation [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0859ad1-53aa-2a10-78ae-99e41c407669].
    To fill the tablecontext I use the following Code:
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement position = null;
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenNode posNode = wdContext.nodePositionen();
    int NUM_5_TIMES = 5;
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_5_TIMES; i) {
    IPrivateAnlegenBANFView.IPositionenElement posElement = wdContext.createPositionenElement();
    +posElement.setMaterial("" + i);+
    +posElement.setKurztext("Test" + i);+
    +posElement.setWarengruppe("Warengr" + i);+
    posNode.addElement(posElement);
    If i put this code in the wdDoInit method it  works fine and shows me 5 Rows. But if I put the code in the Action of the tabstrip it shows me only one row. I checked the entries of the context and there are 5 entries (showed them in a WD-Table).
    Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
    Thanks for a answer and kind regards

    Hi All
    finally i found the solution for the problem.
    When you define the interactive Form in the view do not define the property "dataSource" of UI-Element Interactive Form it seems, that the binding is static and not dynamic.
    Add the following source to the viewCotroller
    Global Part of the Source:
    private static IWDInteractiveForm form = null;
    Method wdDoModify:
    if (firstTime) {
      form = (IWDInteractiveForm) view.getElement("InteractiveForm");
    When you have an Event where you fill your Contextnode which you want to display in the table of an Adobe Form Use this code:
    Action:
    public void onActionFillTab(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent ){
      //@@begin onActionFillTab(ServerEvent)
         * Code to fill the Node for AdobeForm Table
        form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
      //@@end
    If you want to clear your table and show it directly use in the action the following code:
    wdContext.nodeTabelle().invalidate();
    form.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTabelle().getNodeInfo());
    Kind regards

  • Front Row Suggestion

    Ok, I have a suggestion about Front Row... Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I just thought here would be the best place to post, if not let me know.
    I use a Powerbook and a Powermac G5, I thought it would be a cool idea if Apple released Front Row publically to any of their systems IF you have a wireless remote. The other day I purchased the Griffen AirClick, and It would be nice to use that with something like Front Row.
    Just thought I'd throw that out and have some talk about it. What do you guys think?

    These discussion forums are mainly other Apple users helping each other out, and is not a place where Apple reads for feedback. Try going to Apple's OS X Feedback page at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    This way you can ensure Apple will read your feedback.
    Hope I could help,

  • Can I use Front Row on external monitor with MacBook Pro's cover closed?

    I've seen that you can use the remote to control Front Row even when the lapatop's cover is closed (on a MacBook Air). Is it possible with a first generation MB Pro? Are there special settings?
    Thx

    You can use a MacBook Pro in "clamshell" mode if you have the AC adapter plugged in for power, an external display attached and an external keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) to wake the computer after it's been closed. This is the official word from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
    However, even if you don't have a keyboard and mouse, you should still be able to wake the MacBook Pro using the Apple remote by pressing the "menu" button. (You do still need to have the power plugged in and the display plugged in.)

  • 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.

  • Front row with a mac pro . . .

    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 .

  • Using Front Row to access Video, etc. on other networked Macs.

    The ability to use the new version of Front Row and Bonjour to access viedo, photos, and music on other networked Macs seems very interesting, but I have a question.
    Suppose for example, I buy the new Mac Mini and set it up with my audiovisual system ... and I have other Macs in my home network (e.g.,a G4, iBook, and G5). Do the other computers have to be able to run Front Row in order for their video/photo/audio files to be accessed by the new Mac Mini and played thru my AV system?
    In my case, for example, my G4, G5 (Quad) and iBook (G3) don't have Front Row and at the present time Front Row is not available for these Macs.
    G4, G5, iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Phillip,
    When I was trying out FrontRow on my computer, I got access to video on my PC by simply creating an alias for the files and dropping them into the Movies folder on the mac. FrontRow will show the aliases fine and when you select them will conect to the server (if not already connected) and start playing. This is totally cool! So... you don't really need the video to be in an iTunes shared library if you dont want to go that way.
    Nevermind
    PS. Of course ZeroConf is pretty cool too!

  • Front Row with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 after installing iTunes 10.4 ?

    Is Front Row 100% compatible with that combo ?

    Hi kguinn
    If you are running iTunes 10.4 under Snow Leopard, it will be running as a 32-bit application.  That is why you don't see any option to force it to run in 32-bit mode. iTunes can only run in 64-bit mode within Lion.
    I'm using the latest iTunes on both a SL install and a Lion install.  On SL, where it's running as a 32-bit application I can continue to use Front Row exactly as I have always done - browsing playlists and downloaded TV shows from my iTunes library.  On Lion, with a reinstated Front Row, I cannot access anything from my iTunes library - even when forcing the application to run in 32-bit mode.  This is because the underlying frameworks are all 64-bit and it is these that Front Row must access in order to draw down content from an iTunes library.  And poor old Front Row, being a native Snow Leopard 32-bit only application, doesn't have the capacity to drive these 64-bit frameworks.
    From your post it looks like you haven't yet updated to Lion.  If you will be wanting to reinstate Front Row once you do make the move, then don't update iTunes.  From the other posts on this site, it looks like those who've reinstated Front Row and haven't updated iTunes are enjoying all the features of Front Row that they had in Snow Leopard.
    If you have no intention of upgrading to Lion, then you can upgrade iTunes and still enjoy Front Row in the way you currently do.

  • Using Front Row On Duel Screen

    Hi guys,
    I've got a macbook at the moment and was wondering, if i were to hook it up to another screen and run it duel screen is it possible to use front row in the second screen as appose to just the main laptop screen? And then also use the remote and everything to control front row, but at the same time be using my macbook normally for other tasks? So basically....i use my macbook normally, but at the same time, someone else can be using the remote to control Front Row thats showing on a different screen. Thanks in advance,
    Luke

    I assume when you are not using FrontRow, you can see your Mac desktop on both your laptop and the TV, correct? (Just making sure the connection is working.)
    If so, in the Displays preference pane, there should be an Arrangement tab. This is where you tell your Mac how your have your displays arranged. There should be a check box that says Mirror Displays (or something like that). That tells the computer to show the same image on both displays.
    Front Row can only be on one display. I assume it will always be on whichever display the computer has designated as the "primary" display. And it will blank any other displays while Front Row is active. If that is what is happening in your case, mirroring the displays should put Front Row on both.
    BTW: The Mac's Help system can be, well, helpful here. From the Finder's Help Menu select Mac Help. Do a search for "mirror video" and you'll get instructions on how to do it.

  • Can't use my screen saver while using front row for music?

    When I work I have my computer on the desk next to me, usually I have music playing and my very large image library running through my screen saver. I used to be able to start up my music using the remote, going through front row. I'd start up the music and back out. It would just return to my screen saver at that point.
    Now when I try to do that, I can't back out of front row without also backing out of my music. It's kind of annoying... I mean, I can just start up itunes and go from there, but it was a nice function that I really got used to.
    Does anyone know of a setting that I can adjust that would allow me to do this again?
    Thanks

    The way it used to work, I'd already have my screen saver running, I'd open front row from my remote, and just start up itunes through that. I'd never actually see the itunes app because it would just open on the toolbar. As soon as I backed out of front row it would automatically go right back to the screen saver while still playing my music. All from across the room.
    Now I have to go over to my computer, open up itunes, start that up, windowshade it to the dock, then hot corner my screen saver again. All sitting right at the desk.
    It was a nice convenience. I don't understand the loss. At least give us the option to open it in the background in preferences. I've always appreciated the fact that Apple let us use our computers the way we like. This just seems counterintuitive.

  • Front Row Sharing - Some TV shows not showing up

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with iTunes' shared libary - it only shows a subset of TV shows within iTunes. I have a Mac Pro in my den, which hosts a pretty large itunes library (about 750GB), of which 350GB are TV shows I've either bought from iTunes or ripped from DVD. The machine is running 10.6 and iTunes is fully up to date. Everything works as you'd expect on the Mac Pro, and Front row can see all the videos iTunes can see.
    In our bedroom we have a fairly recent Mac Mini. If i use iTunes ->iTunes sharing, all the titles show up correctly and I an watch any TV show.
    However, if we use the sharing feature in front row on the mac mini, only a subset of TV shows appears - and infuriatingly it's not even 100% reliable which items will fail to show - but it is about 90% reliable, which is even more frustrating, as it's clearly not totally random. The shows most likely to be effected seem to be the ones added in the last few months.
    I've also tried running front row on different clients on the same LAN - both my wife and my Macbook pros do the same, as does an iMac in our kitchen, so it seems to me to be either a problem which effects Front Row generally, or a fault on the iTunes server Mac Pro. Is my library simply too big for the Front Row sharing feature to work correctly? If so - this is ridiculous!?
    I've looked into alternative clients for the Mac Mini, like Mediacentral, which doesn't seem to support sharing of iTunes videos, and also Plex which again doesn't appear to support this, but is frankly so complex it's hard to tell - if it will support seamless iTunes sharing of all content, I'd be happy to give it a go - but it doesn't look like it does.
    Preferably there would just be a fix like deleteing some iTunes cache files or something on the Mac Pro - I've had a sniff about the iTunes XML file, and compared the data of some of theTV shows which turn up to some of those that don't and they all look identical, schema wise, so I'm none the wiser.
    All machines tested are totally up to date, OS/iTUnes wise..
    I haven't managed to find anything on the internet about this, which leads me to think it's probably an obscure issue with my iTUnes installation, rather than a problem with library size, since I'm sure many other people have bigger libraries than this....
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I have the same issue. My home shared library can all be seen on my iPhone or my Apple TV 3rd Gen but not on my ipad. Only some movies and tv shows show up. Also. Many of the TV shows are all mixed up. Episodes shows up in different series and all mix up. All those issues only on the iPad, on other devices, all seems fine.
