Frontrow and TV Shows

[blueflame]

ok, so heres the deal, ive ripped saeason 1-4 of my futurama dvds, ive put them in itunes and labeled them as tv shows. for some reason, they do not show up in frontrow at all. if i label them as movies, they show up, but them i have like 100 movies files, instead of being in sub section like season 1 season 2 etc... how can i make frontrow recognize it?

Use Lostify to tag the shows.

The only TV shows that will show up in Front Row are the ones you D/L from iTunes

Technically,these are all "purchased" shows and because of that they are in a "DRM type" format.
e.g.AAC (protected)AVC0 Media

So, is there any way to make others show up as well? if not, is there a way to have it in the movies with seasons instead of just one huge long list?

I said something, found out it wasn't right, and edited it to say sorry nevermind.

I've found the need to remove the files from the Library, Lostify, and then re-add them to the library properly tagged as TV Show. (Or just Lostify before importing).

ok, i think i figured this problem out. using lostify, you have o fill in every data tag in order for it to be recognized. as soon as every one was tagged
it just worked.

PS: i tried this a million time now i swear it. this should be easier

bump

ok, i'm bumping this because I have a question to add...

-Any avi file I have in my Movies folder shows up in front row under "Movies"

-I have TV shows that are .avi's but instead of having 100 items in movies, I'd like to add them to the TV Shows section in frontrow.

-You can't tag .avi's with Lostify, is there any other way to do this?

 

[balamw]

Perhaps by making a QT reference movie that points to the AVI?

[SmokeItLow]

how do you pull that off?

(Sorry, I'm a newish mac user. Just bought a macbook pro and getting used to the osx, and let me tell ya, I won't ever be going back )

To make a reference movie, open the .avi in QT Pro and then choose File->Save As. In the dialog box, select "Save as Reference Movie".

However, I think that you can only tag MP4s for use in iTunes/FrontRow so you may not be able to Lostify the reference movie either. You may have to re-rip the DVDs as iTunes/FrontRow friendly .mp4s to tag them properly.
