FrodoKenny Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I made a Front Row plugin to allow me to sleep, restart or shutdown my computer from within Front Row. It adds a System menu at the bottom with these three options. Code is heavily based on the tutorials from AwkwardTV. Icons are taken from InterfaceLIFT. Package installs SystemAppliance.frappliance to /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/. Hope it's useful.

umbrae Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 This was hugely useful as I watch things on my mac before I go to sleep and wanted to be able to disable the monitor for darkness when things end.

David Schlüter Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 What I was looking for is something to make the monitor sleep and not the computer, is there anyway that this can be added? If you downloading, one thing you don't want to do is make the computer sleep, nights are best for downloading. On the iMac the commands for Monitor sleep is "ctrl, shift, eject" button, be real nice if this command was added to the sleep, restart, shutdown area, maybe having it called like "monitor sleep" or something like that. P.S. does someone know what front row sometimes tries to make the monitor sleep while im watching a movie on it. If I have monitor sleep to 10 min, it will try to sleep every 10 min. It's very annoying. The happenings are a 1/10 ratio.

Chris Amini Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 P.S. does someone know what front row sometimes tries to make the monitor sleep while im watching a movie on it.

It's free and will keep your Mac from going to sleep while you are watching a movie. EDIT: Just downloaded your plugin and it works great! Thanks a ton. Now I just need an Apple remote to make it more useful lol.

Hoodie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 After installation, the plugin is well located within the contents of frontrow app/plugins but the sleep,restart shutdown buttons do not appear. I notice that since last update (10.5.8) the sapphire plugin do not run anymore and I had to desinstall this plugin (i.e. sapphire) as it prevents frontrow from running. Please note that I've got skype and EyeTV plugins installed and that I use DVA assist on a G5 PowerPC Have U any idea to make the shutdown button appear.

acemonvw Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I too am having the issue mentioned above. The files are located in the correct spot in front row, but there is nothing in Front Row to click. Any thoughts?

qreed Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks! I just received my remote controller today and this is way better then to walk to your Mac in the middle of the night just to give it a shutdown (because you fell asleep during that boring movie). Great work. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159806-frontrow-plugin-sleep-restart-shutdown/#findComment-1468460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkillah Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Great plugin. Though icons are terrible . Had create my own to replace them icons.zip. Also there was no russian localization and i've added one too Russian.lproj.zip. To install icons and localization if needed just place them in /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row/Contents/Plugins/SystemAppliance.frappliance/Contents/Resources Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/159806-frontrow-plugin-sleep-restart-shutdown/#findComment-1495058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kg. Madee II. Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Great plugin, thanks Just 2 questions: is it Intel only? I can't seem to get it to work on my PowerBook. And could you (please) provide the source code?
