kikistan XP Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hello I have a strange behaviour on my mac mini I have windows share with divx over my network (bonjour is installed on the windows computer) the mac can see my share and i can play my divx in quicktime When i reboot and open for the first time front row .... movie share is empty. When i reboot and open media central... movie share points to my windows share If i launch front row after that .... movie share is populated with my divx .. What is the trick to have movie share in front row without launching media central at first ???

cavemonkey50 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Just click on the alias in Finder. That will create a connection to your Windows box so Front Row can use it.

bluedragon1971 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Where do i put the alias afterword ? How can i read musique in Front Row without copying it into itune ? Uncheck the option in iTunes preferences dealing with copying the music when adding to the library.

dadeef Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 scratch that.... divx doesnt run on quicktime, Divx only works under Rosetta... I installed the Divx beta 2r3 but divx doesnt play when i turn Rosetta off.
