theotheo Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi there, I read about this great new feature giving you the ability to play VIDEO_TS folders from frontrow. There is one problem tough! My DVDPlayer.app instantly crashes when I either mount a ISO that contains a dvd or when I try to open a VIDEO_TS folder. This all resulting in Frontrow shutting down as it uses dvdplayer.app and me not being able to watch VIDEO_TS folders. This problem does not appear when opening a "normal dvd" Any sugestions??? I'm running Brazilmac's leo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70155-dvdplayer-crash-fix-included/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppg Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 THNX, I'll try that asap, But before I try, do you have any suggestions on where to find the replacement applesmbios.kext? Here you go! Backup old kext before apply this one. I did try 1.0.1 and 1.0.6, didn't work out. But, 1.0.11 works. Try it, good luck! Let me know the result.

theotheo Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Works like a charm. At first it only worked when booting with -f flag until I realized I forgot to delete the kextcache stuff.

I did a search but the method I found didn't seem to work properly (came out of a Tiger related F.A.Q.) Some help would be greatly appreciated! 1. backup your original AppleSMBIOS.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, then delete it (authentication required, just give ur password) 2. drag-and-drop the AppleSMBIOS.kext (v1.0.11) to /System/Library/Extensions (authentication required, just give ur password) 3. open Terminal.app in Utility 4. type "sudo -s" (give ur password) 5. cd /System/Library/Extensions 6. chown -R root:wheel AppleSMBIOS.kext 7. chmod -R 755 AppleSMBIOS.kext 8. cd .. 9. rm -rf Extensions.* 10. reboot with -f flag Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70155-dvdplayer-crash-fix-included/#findComment-499630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott E Winklebleck Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 2 years later, I just Hacked a MSi Nettop 100 using Chameleon-1.0.11 and MSIWindosx86.iso. upped to 10.5.6, everything is great except for DVD Player crashing when I try to load a video_ts folder (or try to access on in FrontRow). Any current, or updated advice? I have AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext 1.1.1 and 1.0.14 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70155-dvdplayer-crash-fix-included/#findComment-1254898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoMuS Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Everything else working fine. Although i'm talking about Snow Leopard... In Leopard i had no issues at all. I'm even thinking about going back... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70155-dvdplayer-crash-fix-included/#findComment-1261578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
