Plugins to improve Front Row

This is an article of Cristina Ruiz Beltrán.

Of course you already will know Front Row, the average center that Mac OS includes, but: do you know that it is possible to improve it?. Plex is other of the programs of named average center, probably one of the best for Mac, but also others exist as I Boxed and XBMC. And if also we use EyeTV to see the live television, Front Row is, in my opinion, the perfect platform to assemble all of them.

For it simply we will have to discharge and install the necessary plugins, here some of us make you compatible with Snow Leopard:

• Box Plugin to execute Boxes.
• EyeTV Plugin to execute EyeTV.
• Hulu Plugin to execute Hulu.
• MythTV Plugin to execute MythTV.
• Plex Plugin to execute Plex.
• XBMC Plugin to execute XBMC.

The installation is very easy: only the image is necessary to mount that we will unburden ourselves and to drag the icon of the plugin to the folder that is nearby. As this folder is protected, the system will ask you for the manager's key. If you do not see the plugin on having initiated Front Row, we will need to begin it again opening a Terminal meeting and to introduce the following thing:

killall FrontRow

For desinstalar some of the plugins go to:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app / Contents / PlugIns /

The plugin is a folder that finishes in.frappliance. It erases the entire folder and I list. I have proved personally that of Boxee, that of Plex and that of EyeTV. The only one that has given me problems is that of Boxee, which does not take well at all with Apple Remote in Snow Leopard, but evidently it is a fault of the application, not of the plugin. For it I do not recommend it for Snow Leopard, but if you continue in Leopard or previous, it is possible that it works.

I hope that it should turn out to be useful to you.

Rumor: Apple might be thinking to add HDMI to the Mac

The AppleInsider people do to herself echo of a rumor that he says that Apple would be preparing the inclusion of connectivity HDMI to the line Mac. According to this rumor, there would be prototypes of Mac Mini that have replaced the connection DVI with a HDMI thanks to a graphic card NVIDIA with chip MCP89 (graphic chip evolution of the one that finds in the cards NVIDIA GeForce 9400M that some Apple models mount).

Nevertheless, disagreements exist between Intel and NVIDIA with regard to the terms of license of use of the chip MCP89 in machines with processors i3, i5 and i7, what might provoke that Apple was continuing with the current scale of processors Core 2 Duo in future updates of Mac Mini.

At present, only the Apple TV has this connection and to add it to the scale Mac Mini almost who might be considered to be his death sentence, since it would do much simpler the use of the child of the family as multimedia center without the problems of resolution that usually appear.

It will be necessary to hope that I hope this rumor is confirmed but, sincerely, it surprises me very much, topcoat since Apple bet clearly for the connection DisplayPort in his teams.
