Help with Apple Remote (front row application)

Is there a way to change which folder it looks in for movies? I have all my movies on my external hard drive, and would I be able to make it so it looks in my external for movies as well?

 

If you need me to clarify more, let me know! Thanks!

Switch to the Finder. Press cmd-shift-G or click on the "Go" menu and go down to "Go to Folder..."

 

In the resulting text input box, put in /Volumes/

The volumes folder (a hidden folder at the root level of your hard drive) will now open. Click and hold on the folder icon at the top of the Finder window for the Volumes Folder. Press and hold the command and option keys as you drag an alias of the Volumes folder to your desktop.

 

Then move that volumes folder alias into your Movies folder.

 

Now, when you have external drives mounted, in Front Row you go to your Movies Folder, followed by going into "Volumes", then into your external drive, and so on.

 

I chose "Volumes" instead of a direct alias to your movies folder on your external drive as "Volumes" will work regardless of whether or not any external drives are mounted, whereas a direct alias will not.
