<br>work reliably. The problem was that by default the apple tv interface always<br>tries to put itself on top of any other windows. So you'll be running<br>something e.g. myth, vlc, but you can't see it. If you kill
Finder.app you<br>briefly see the other app before the finder restarts and covers it again.<br>The applications plugin claims to alter the finder so that it doesn't always<br>force itself to the front, but for me it only work once every 2 or 3 times.
<br>The other problem with doing it this way is that every time you want to use<br>myth you have to start mythfrontend, which takes a while on the appletv.<br><br>>Has anyone attempted to play 720p or 1080i MythTV<br>>recordings through an AppleTV OS X mythfrontend?
<br>>How's the playback quality? Does the video<br>>acceleration work? From the few AppleTV specs I've<br>>seen, I wonder if the ATV has sufficient performance<br>>for HD playback.<br><br>Some 720p episodes of Lost I downloaded played ok (although I'm not sure
<br>what they were encoded in). There's no chance of playing 1080i. There was<br>some discussion about this on a previous thread. MythFrontend can't use the<br>hardware acceleration, and I don't think this works for any mac front end at
<br>the moment.<br><br>>How's the performance as a front end? Is there lag cycling through menus,<br>>program guide, etc?<br><br>It's not super-responsive, put it that way. It takes a couple of seconds to<br>

<br>brilliant. Other than the slightly slow UI in places as I mentioned above I<br>can't fault it. I haven't had to reboot it once. I don't use it much for HD<br>stuff as I don't have any HD sources, so it's just the occasional download -
<br>720p seems to play ok.<br><br>In short, even my girlfriend likes it so it must be good ;o)<br><br>>From: Jon <<a href="mailto:jon.the.wise.gdrive@gmail.com">jon.the.wise.gdrive@gmail.com</a>><br>>Reply-To: Discussion about mythtv <
