I lost my Apple TV in iTunes again after installing this group 
I was also hoping that Apple would open up those HD rentals for iTunes and Front Row during this round of updates. |

| How about some Airport Express streaming for Front Row? That's what I'd like to see! |

I'm hoping this update to FrontRow will fix my crashes lately. I've had a bunch of crashes when watching DVDs. The symptom is random, but occurs like this:
DVD begins just fine
Pausing the disk will work as expected
Can't unpause it, can't escape or CMD+TAB out of FrontRow
Have to CTRL+CMD+ESC (kill) FrontRow. Then the next time I enter FrontRow, it's forgotten where I left off. Very aggravating!

I've had that same issue with a few DVDs in Front Row 2. I just can't remember what they were to restest. That being said, I haven't had it happen since applying the update. But I've only played like three DVDs so far (I Am Legend, Evan Almighty and Michael Clayton). Was there a particular DVD that you were having issues with? |

No, it's always seemed random to me. After it happens, I can kill Front Row, restart it, and it will play correctly to the end of the disc, so it's not like a permanent repeatable error.

iRob or Ben tex. Are these original DVDs or like Video_TS burns from Toast or DVD2one without menus. I've never had trouble with Front Row jamming up on me like that.

Cool. I just wondered if that made a difference. It sounds completely random then.
