Has anyone else noticed that Front Row (FR) sometimes doesn't "see" all the video files in a particular folder, even if they are m4v and in the iTunes library? If so has anyone got a work around? I've searched the forums and 'round the web but I can't find any discussion of this.
I've just migrated from a 1.25Ghz 17" G4 iMac to a new 20" iMac Core Duo (lucky me - I'm smiling as I type, these are the things that make working for a living worthwhile). Front Row is truly grand, but it does appear to have something of a blind spot when it comes to certain files. I've downloaded TV shows but, in one instance, only one of four episodes shows up. I've gone into iTunes and called up the "show info" option to make sure the information is consistent across each file. I've also made a copy of a file that FR can't see and put it in the video folder. FR "sees it" right away. I'm wondering if the problem is that FR uses a different mechanism to access the different categories, i.e. it reads the video folder contents directly but uses iTunes to access info for the TV Shows category?
Comments, hints, or just general abuse for my inepitude anyone?
