Front Row reworked to resemble Apple TV

While I don't like the look it's almost certainly exactly what is running on the Apple TV meaning it's extensible to a certain degree (So I'm kinda neutral as to whether this is good or bad news).

Guys, this IS Front Row from the AppleTV. Remember that the AppleTV is a Mac, and internally it contains "Front Row 2.0" versions and frameworks.

This is the same thing, except enhanced for a real Mac, meaning:
- DVD support
- Ability to launch and quit
- No need to sync from another computer

Here's hoping the Mac Mini is kept, as I'm dying for this combo. Load Leopard Server on it and run all of my home multimedia and server needs, on one quiet little box.

The question is whether I can customize the information provided in it. I'm assuming not. I like to know what year the songs I'm playing are from, but for some reason Apple gives no customization options.

I hope they built in support for VIDEO_TS folder playing. Otherwise, nice job with the consistency.

I like the original Front Row look better.

Now let's just hope the Mac Mini is still around when Leopard ships... if not updated!!

Now if they have also made it easier to add plugins to frontrow like is possible on the apple tv that will be HUGE.
