Q: Video missing, only sound
Don't know what's going on.
I run a mac mini with OS SL 10.6.8
I've been running front row on my second screen showing itunes tv shows and movies.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I installed eyetv and the eyetv app on my ipod.
Lately I don't get any video image when playback, only sound.
Movies and shows show up perfectly in itunes and quicktime. Including subtitles.
A tv show I scheduled with eyetv as a test today, showed up in my itunes tv shows and played fine on the second screen through front row.
The other shows play, but do not have any image, only sound.
All shows and movies are of the .m4v format.
I do not have perian installed.
It's driving me nuts. Front row was the reason I put all the effort into all this. It plays back my DVD's without having to rip them for hours.
Did someone experience the same problem and solved it.
I have deleted plst files in the user preferences directory (apple.frontrow.plist). To no avail.
kind regards,
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
