Front Row Failing To Load - iDeneb / iATKOS / iPC

[01A]

Hi,

 

I'm noticing a problem with all the builds I've used with version 10.5.6 or after.

iDeneb, iPC & IATKOS.

 

After installing either or both of these Front Row plugins (See below) front row refuses to display.

No errors or visible response.

 

Shutdown Plugin - http://dinkytunes.com/downloadpage/downloadpage.html

DVDpedia Plugin - http://www.bruji.com/extras/dvdpediafrontrow.html

 

Upon loading Activity Monitor I see Front Row running then disappearing (terminating) and then restarting. And it continues in this cycle every 10 seconds or so.

 

If I delete the plugin from the Front Row package (Sys/Lib/CoreSvc/Front Row.app/Contents/Plugins)

it immediately launches without error.

 

I know these plugins work without fail on my official Mac Mini throughout all versions of leopard.

(now running 10.5.8). And they also work fine on iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5.

 

This problem occurs across different hackintosh system hardware and builds, and it seems to be only on builds 10.5.6 & newer. (iATKOS 5i & v7, iPC 10.5.6 Final, iDeneb v1.4 & 1.5.1).

 

I've tried restarts, d/l and installing all non-system updates, repairing all permissions using disk utility. Tried copying Front Row from my Mac Mini. All still same.

 

 

Can anyone offer any advice?

Or recommend any tools so i can try to track Front Row's launch?

 

 

Or if you have any of the above builds could you try installing one of the plugins,

and post back of they work or if you have the same problem?

 

They are easy to remove, just navigate Finder to your root OS X HDD,

Then into 'System' folder, 'Library' folder, 'Core services'.

Inside here you'll find 'Front Row.app'

 

Right click on this and choose 'Show Package Contents'

then in the new finder window open the 'Contents', then 'Plugins' folder

and you should see either 'DVDpedia.frappliance' or 'Shut Down.frappliance'

right click on them and move to trash.

Enter your admin password and front row will start without a problem.

 

 

 

Many Thanks In Advance
