I've tried front row on my mini, and it runs fine. It's just a bit buggy (different DVDPlayer.app etc.) . However, it doesnt do what I really need #PLAY NETWORKED VIDEO_TS FOLDERS# :(

I've got a 1.5TB media server (win 2k3) with loads of content on it and no way to interface and play it, so I built my own :)

It uses a Macromedia Director GUI and an applescript backend, only took 2 evenings to get it working. It needs some refining but I might make it available for download once it's done.

Good lord, that is killer. Definitely keep us updated as to if you are going to make this available.

Very cool setup, and very nice work.

Nice desktop background.
Where'd the image come from (care to share)?

Just to clear this up. That background is one from Digital Blasphemy, it requires a membership subscription. The guy really does some amazing work, and he supports HUGE resolutions. I use some of his dual and triple screen backgrounds for my dual 23 setup.

Anyway, I suggest dropping the few bucks if you really like the work there.

I have my mini perched on top of my dimension 9100, along with my ethernet router, 3 firewire hard drives. It looks like just another component....

Both the dell and the mac are kvm'd to a wireless microsoft internet keyboard and mouse....

pics to come.

Heck, I'd pay for that! That would make a nice shareware app!
