urig-herb Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I got a hacked Front Row version here: [DMCA Violation Edited by Hagar] I just started the app file and it works! You have to press ESC for a few seconds to start it, then you can use the keyboard. Unfortunatly it is very, very slow. Not usable on my system (see below).

jegabla Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've heard some people on the ppc side have been successful using a bluetooth phone and Romeo software to control frontrow Unfortunately it's ppc, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkunderlord Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I downloaded it and ran it on this machine with osx86 and I get an all yellow screen. Does this only work for those with the Quartz Extreme, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkunderlord Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 OK, so it seems that the only screen I can't see correctly is the sweet front screen that you choose Photos, Videos, etc. If I blindly use the cursor keys to change the item that is selected which I can't see, and hit enter, the menu list pops up. I just watched a Movie Trailer. Dang, it must require QE or CI to get the entire experience... Here's a clip of my console log which shows errors from Front row....

jegabla Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 No Frontrow for me either, I get the same yellow graphics and weird animation. It can't play itunes due to error in connection with it. Basically, unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, unusable. I've heard you need the 6.0.1 update, maybe you already have it. The graphics look perfect, but then it crashed my kernel, I got one of those "You need to restart your computer now" messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleg Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Wow! Thanks for the link. Well, due to lack of QE and CI, I get the yellow screen on loading. However, if you click left or right then hit enter, the menus come up just fine. Everything is very responsive on my R3000Z laptop with an AMD64 3000. The iTunes integration is smooth... Just as a note, I still have the original 5.0.1 iTunes and the stock Quicktime. I plan on trying the movie trailer function next, but just wanted to post this in case it corrupted my install. Once those drivers are ready (I know, its a big if), this baby is ready to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleg Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well, no explosions... As predicted, both the movie playing function and the movie trailer function worked perfectly. Just drop the movie in your movies folder and boom! The movie trailer function works in conjunction with iTunes, I like, very slick! Though I do have to disclose that I haven't tried Media Center.

xtraa Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Same here, it works -without QE and CI- but you wont see the menue. I can hear them swap, when I press the arrow keys, and I can also see the sub- menues. But the eyecandy menue is displayed as kinda yellow screen. All in all this app is not a musthave. All it does is to link iTunes, iPhoto and iDVD in one Menue with big letters. wow. ;p If you want top try, do not forget to upgrade your BezelServices.framework first, and of course you have to have the maxxus 10.4.2 patch installed, and do a repair permissions with the diskutility.

guile Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 front row is fast here in 1600x1200 BTW it's really unstable and every mode crashes except movies (the trailer mode is really impressive, apple rocks ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
