I have not attempted to use Front Row even since we purchased a couple of Apple TVs. However, today I wanted to use Front Row to stream a video from my Mac Pro to my Mac Book Pro while I was sitting outside on our patio.
For some reason, Front Row no longer would stream anything with video content (movies, music videos or TV shows), all of which did so perviously. The weird thing was that music and photos streamed fine from my Mac Pro via Front Row AND video streamed fine from iTunes directly on the same Mac Book Pro even though it would not from Front Row.
So I spent quite a while troubleshooting the problem and could find nothing wrong with my equipment or its set up. So I called Apple Care.
After several phone calls, and a lot of "try this...try that" discussions, the tech moved me up to a product specialist for Front Row. After some interesting double talk, the product specialist finally told me that Front Row 1.3 does not currently support video streaming anymore! I asked why this was so and she did everything she could not to admit that there was a bug in Front Row 1.3 or the way Front Row 1.3 and iTunes 7.2 interact. The bottom line is that she told me that until "the software" was updated Front Row would not support video streaming.
So, if you are having this problem, at least you know its not your equipment.
