    Frontview streaming movies

    Hi,
    I've got a storage array which will talk CIFS/SMB/NFS etc. I'm trying to get Frontrow to stream DivX movies from it. I can mount it, but I can't seem to find a way to tell Frontrow to look in that particular location.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Cheers in advance!

    You need to make sure that you create an allias to that folder or drive in your movies folder. This is the only place that Front Row looks.

    Thanks Nick,
    That works perfectly! I'm getting closer and closer to ditching Windows altogether. When someone produces a decent way of making RTS games work well on a console, I think Microsoft OSes will disappear from my office!!!!

    Thanks again!
