Re: Lion and Front Row

It is a patched version of the 2.2.1 Snow Leopard Front Row.app within /System/Library/CoreServices. What is it supposed to do better than the Snow Leopard original ? EDIT : Well, I still don't know what this patched version was supposed to do better than the original, but unfortunately it does not ...

Re: Lion and Front Row

But if the NON-Apple signature is the root of my problem (Conor kindly provided a Bruji signed version of DVDpedia.frappliance), should not that preclude other third-parties plugins from loading too, not only the DVDpedia.frappliance ?
And the EyeTV.frappliance DOES load.

Re: Lion and Front Row

Thanks Conor for your continuing efforts, but I am more pessimistic than you are : as explained, I had the exact same error message on Mountain Lion, so I am almost sure the problem, whatever it is, is still there. Anyway, Front Row on Mountain Lion seems to suffer from other additional severe limit...

Re: Lion and Front Row

Well, I finally managed to make DTrace/errinfo run on Lion, using Pacifist to copy errno.h from Xcode.mpkg within a Snow Leopard install DVD into /usr/include/sys/errno.h (for whatever reason, I was not able to do the equivalent from the Xcode.app application for Lion downloaded from the App Store)....

Re: Lion and Front Row

GGGGrrrrrrrrr : thanks once more Conor, but again the same 3 usual error messages, one more false trail :( . Guessing and trying will lead us nowhere unless I can get some more detailed information about the specific problem on my system. I thought I had found some useful tool using DTrace/errinfo ,...

Re: Lion and Front Row

I liked the song ! :wink: Actually, you can find on Google some remotely related references to frappliance not loading... in Apple TV ! And they found a solution apparently related to some "signature" certificate, in addition to switching back to English. Although the source code for ATV/i...

Re: Lion and Front Row

Thanks a lot Conor for this new Universal version of the DVDpedia.frappliance 5. Unfortunately, no dice, I still get the same exact 2 error messages, so that was an other wrong suspect. I also tried disabling the com.apple.RemoteUI daemeon by manually removing the /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.ap...

Re: Lion and Front Row

I wondered if my problems with the non loading DVDpedia.frappliance did not come from some Rosetta/PPC issue : although the DVDpedia 5 plugin is Intel only (as DVDpedia 5.x.x is Intel only), all the other binaries used by Front Row (2x Front Row apps, BackRow, iPhotoAccess) are "Universal"...

Re: Lion and Front Row

I made a few more tests to try to understand why some people like Conor can run the DVDpedia Front Row plugin on Lion while I never can : - clean Lion install in English instead of French : no dice - clean Lion 10.7.0 install instead of 10.7.4 : no dice - DVDpedia 5.1.1 full reinstall with DVDpedia ...

Re: Lion and Front Row

Thanks Conor for the new DVDpedia.frappliance download, unfortunately I still have the same Console "no load" message (I rebooted, just in case : no dice :-( ). However, now that I know for sure this plugin DOES work on (some) Lion (I am assuming 10.7.4 as myself), there is some hope. A fe...

DVDpedia Front Row Plugin not working on Lion

I am not sure it qualifies as a bug, since this plugin is closer to an unsupported hack than a regular DVDpedia feature, but just in case : I installed Front Row 2.2.1 and DVDpedia 4.6.8 on Lion 10.7.4 using Front Row Enabler 10.5.3 for Lion : all worked fine :-). However, when I installed the DVDpe...

Re: Lion and DVDpedia Front Row Plugin 5

The console messages confirm that the DVDpedia.frappliance plugin was found but did not load, but unfortunately gives zero hint on the actual problem nature. 11/08/12 09:52:44,353 FrontRow: ******** Application Startup ******** 11/08/12 09:52:45,040 FrontRow: Failed to allow loading of appliance /Sy...

Re: Lion and DVDpedia Front Row Plugin 5

I just installed Front Row, DVDpedia and DVDpedia Front Row Plugin 5 on Lion 10.7.4, and I have the same problem as bitzcool : no DVDpedia entry in Front Row base menu. I did use the frontRow5Installer.zip installer which completed OK, restarted the Mac, still no DVDpedia menu. Front Row 1.1 works f...

Re: Lion and Front Row

Unfortunately, the disappearance of Front Row in Lion seems confirmed. I don't like Plex as an alternative, it is much more cumbersome and not as stable. But if we are stuck with Plex as the only choice, a Plex-DVDpedia plugin by Bruji would be great... ...unless DVDpedia evolves into a Plex alterna...

Re: "Die Hard" sorts with the H's; any workaround?

Use the Sort Title field to sort it by - just add Die in the sort field. You will need to go into Prefs first then to Fields, then to Add Edit Panel and make sure that Sort Title is ticked. Then in the main edit window, make sure you are not hiding empty fields (bottom left corner of edit wondow) a...
