Another Leopard Problem - Front Row & Airport Express/Airtunes

I am also very upset regarding this problem.

However, I tried Airfoil, but I don't really know how to use it.

If I start Airfoil first, then Frontrow, it is working. But how can I set this up so that I can start Frontrow with the remote and have Audio sent to my APE without launching Airfoil manually first?

Am I missing something here?

Airfoil will solve the problem. Only, it will not relieve you of having to tap a few things before using Front Row and your remote. All you have to do is;
enable "Instant hijack" in Airfoil and then go to the menu ( applications ) and select "Front Row" in the shown menu. That should do it.
only thing is that you dont get the "real Front row" feel.

Add yet another voice to the chorus. One of the reasons why I upgraded was to get features of Front Row that I wanted. I didn't know playing music through airtunes would be lost in the process. This is something I'd expect from those other operating system guys in Redmond, WA, not from Apple. Pathetic.

Extremely annoying! Is this something thats difficult to adjust Apple?

At first glance with the Apple Express, it was nice, handy, and the audio jack for wireless apps was good so I did get one, but after reading some threads ang knowing that it will not work with frontrow without using airfoil, I'm really disappointed.... I think it's not justified to get a 3rd party application just for frontrow to work with airtunes. If only I knew it would only work with itunes, honestly I would have just stick to the old plug and play. Now where's the innovation on that!.

For what it's worth, I too am disappointed that Airtunes won't play from Front Row. I wonder what the dude in the TV ad would say to this!!!!! According to him, MAC does everything you want it to, right out of the box. Apparently not so..

Anyone try it in Snow Leopard?

Same here - serious issues with Front Row photo slideshows. I select the menu, then hit a photo slideshow. it's jerky and jumpy. I then cannot pause or play it, or skip forward and backward. Well - I kinda can, but there is a delay of about 5 seconds, and all is a bit random. and there is no indication if you are skipping forward or are on play or anything.

Haven't tried movie playback. but this is quite annoying.

Same problem here
Not even remedied in Snow Leopard!!!!
What's their problem?

Same problem on Snow Leopard.
I've just updated my Tiger to Snow Leopard and bought at the same time an Airport Express to use it only for listening music on my HiFi System...

I'm disappointed discovering that Frontrow 2.0 does not work with them...

Come on Apple dev team ! Fix this ASAP !

Why is Front Row not set up like the apple TV menus? AppleTV sort the movies much better. There should at least be a category for movies. come on Apple, streamline your products a bit!

Good lord, what a screw-up this is. 10.6.2 and Front Row 2.2.1 (314). What a mess! Cruising right along and streaming from iTunes just fine. What good is it to have the MBP remote when frontrow behaves like this? iTunes STOPS what it's playing only to start up your same "iTunes Library" but this time, NOT in the same place it left off.

Yes, Snow Leopard, 7200rpm drive, 4GB-RAM, and the front row is less than it was with Tiger?

Apple, please tell me there is some completely random and unjustified answer to this horrible OVERSIGHT! So, REALLY, what again is the point of having an Airport Express again??? Don't tell me, it's a ploy to get me to create more playlists or have to interrupt the party to reconfigure itunes??? PLEASE!

So, let's recap,

1. what's the point of the MBP remote without FrontRow?
2. what's the point of an Airport express when I have a MBP???

ans: NOT too much, when the software doesn't link together! Sorry to be so facetious.

APPLE, PLEASE FIX FRONTROW SO THAT IT IS AIRPORT COMPATIBLE!!!

Purchased an Airport Express yesterday, hooked it up to my stereo and tried to stream music via Frontrow from my trusty old iMac G4... As you all know: That's a "no go". Unbelievable!!!
I didn't even think to check on whether or not this would work. This is Apple software refusing to work with Apple hardware. Something that used to work just fine in the 1.x release of Frontrow and was, for whatever reason, removed.
Frontrow is supposed to make it easier to access one's media library - and Apple intentionally (?) sabotaged this?!?! I can only assume this was done intentionally since this thread dates all the way back to 2007. And Snow Leopard still doesn't fix that?!

I'm returning the Airport Express tomorrow. Come on, Apple! How about an official word on this issue after two years of this issue???

Cheers,

Andre
