Youtube plugin?

Is there a plug in to add Youtube to the Front Row menu (like AppleTV)? On the face of it FrontRow appears to be exactly the same as Front Row but without this option. Is there a reason for this?

Are there any other cool plugins available for Front Row to increase it's functionality?

No, there isn't a plug in alas.

However, there are plenty of mac os x based media applications similar in functionality to FrontRow

Not heard of this plugin, but I'll definitely give it a whirl. Thanks.

Also found this alternative media cetre for mac: www.plexapp.com/

It appears to be very feature rich, but has a complex interface to get to grips with, but also offers Youtube, Hulu and lots of other streaming content.

I still prefer the simple snappiness of Front Row though...

Hulu also has their own desktop application that will use your Apple remote for control:
