However, it doesn't always seem to work. This seems to mostly be a problem with Boxee (but I've seen it with Hulu too). I'm not sure what the issue is but I'll keep looking into it. If I find a solution I'll release new versions. I have code that tries to ensure that the launched program is the frontmost window. However, it doesn’t always seem to work.

Thank you so much for making them available. Like Jake & Matt though, I am also getting finder windows in front of Boxee when launched from front row. But not with Hulu. Would it be possible to send it an "activate" apple system event like you can in applescripts to put it in front? or is this not allowed when launching from within front row? I love these plugins.

For Boxee the file to change is at <code>/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/Boxee.frappliance/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings</code> Just change the CFBundleName to whatever you want displayed. This will only change what it shown in Front Row menu; when selected it will still say 'Loading Boxee'. This will work on the other plugins too just change the path accordingly.

But I'm trying to make it non-tech friendly and so am trying to have the Front Row menu be something explanatory rather than "Plex" or "Boxee"...(such as "Media Center") etc. Is there a string in the info.plist or something that won't break it, that lets Front Row know the name to display on the menu that I can tweak? Thanks! Hi, I love the plugin and it works great.

Thanks large for making this available. I think you just accomplished for me Operation: Get Rid of Comcast. One minor thing I noticed: If you have any finder windows open when switching from FrontRow to Boxee, they will appear in front of the Boxee UI. The only way I was able to work around this was to add Front Row to the springboard. Friggin’ brilliant. Thanks large for making this available.
