Front Row 2.1.6 update available
OK, so it's not really important news, but for those of you who are using Front Row on a regular basis, you might want to pull up Software Update and get Front Row Update 2.1.6. The file size is a miniscule 13.1 MB, and the update apparently "provides improved iTunes 8.0 compatibility and bug fixes."
The update has been out for about a week, but if you've just installed iTunes 8.0 in the last few days, this may resolve some issues for you. Have fun!

This update was released on 9/9 when iTunes 8 was released. This is not a new update...

My point was that regardless of the "it has been out for about a week" comment, this was already posted here the day it was released:

Why the hell hasnt Apple corrected the "No Image Cover" when using Front Row in shared?
This is BEYOND ridiculous!
Its been almost a YEAR!

I'd like to know where the Apple TV update is, one that hopefully stops ATV from crashing everytime I go back to its HDMI feed on my TV, and one that includes the Genius thingie (which I haven't tried yet on iTunes, but am curious about)

Front row's great, but it still has quite a few problems that I doubt were fixed by the update. Such as the idiotic lack of slideshow preferences unless you are connected to a bonjour library. Also, why can't it handle video playlists? If I have videos in a playlist, the videos should be displayed under "movies" and ONLY the music in the playlist should appear under "music" not the videos also. Please fix this apple.

honestly, since the boxee alpha went live, it has came through on everything that AppleTV wanted or tried to be. Plex is nowhere near the integration with social media or even as beautiful out of the box.
For an alpha it's even surprisingly stable, only two crashes in nearly a week of testing, and those only on initial boot, never during video or music playback.

what i want to see is the same functionality as in tiger.
back then, when i switched between front row and the normal environment, the music would still be playing.
in leopard, if i quit front row, the music stops... i consider this a step back
is there any settings i overlooked?
