Boxee in Front Row?

[jtabb]

It's working for me. I didn't install it until after I installed the newest version of boxee. Have you tried reinstalling it?

[cmolway]

I'll have to try a reinstall and double check. I thought that since the plugin was run from frontrow, the upgrade wouldn't affect it.

It works for me Boxee version 4825

The only thing I noticed was if I had other things open such as itunes or firefox, they would be in front of Boxee. So they have to be minimized or not open when launching Boxee from front row.

Not sure if this happened with previous Boxee versions. (Can't recall if I had anything else open)

I wouldn't think a new version of Boxee would affect anything either, but after I upgraded, all I get is a white screen upon launching Boxee front Front Row.

If I run Boxee separately, change it to windowed mode and exit, it then works OK from Front Row. But windowed mode sucks. I need to investigate this further...

I just upgraded Boxee and the FR plugin continues to work without issue in full screen mode...

I think this is an awesome plugin but as mentioned earlier there seem to be problems when other apps are open (in my case it's eyetv). It seems to get stuck in a weird exit loop. When I quit Boxee it won't go back to FR it just shows the desktop. Usually pressing the menu button will take me back to FR but when I exit FR it takes me back to Boxee again. Sometimes it will require a restart of my MacMini.

Like I said, awesome plugin. I'd like to see more development on it. It would be a project worthy of donations.

This plugin is great, I love being able to use both front row and boxee like this. Is there any way to get the boxee logo as a picture in front row instead of empty space?

Found another plugin that roughly does the same thing http://www.holeintheceiling.com/blog...ont-row-boxee/

The logo, as requested:

Download, Unzip, Move to /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row/Contents/PlugIns and Reboot.

For those of you (me included) that had a white full-screen issue when launching Boxee from Front Row: Reboot. I had no issues until I updated Boxee, and then I was getting the white screen. I then rebooted and the problem went away. YMMV.

So, I am able to download no problem but how do I install it? I can get this far,

/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row

But that's where I have to stop the "/Front Row" is not a folder. So how do I install the plugin?

Thanks,
Eric

Front Row is a folder. Right click on it and select "Show Package Contents". Or, open up terminal, change to the directory that you unzipped the appliance in and type "sudo mv FrontBoxee.frappliance /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row/Contents/PlugIns"
