Hi everyone,



Something weird is going on in my Front Row. I am seeing videos (podcasts, downloaded movies etc.) showing up in the Movies section of Front Row that have been deleted from my computer. When I click on them the screen goes black for a moment as if it is loading the video and then it just goes back to the list. I can't find the videos anywhere on my computer and am stumped as to how I should go about getting rid of them. There are more and more in there and it is getting quite cluttered. Any suggestions for me?



Thanks in advance to all who reply!

    Are they showing in your iTunes library as well, Try to remove them from there also.

    Nope, they aren't listed in iTunes nor can I find them anywhere on my computer.

    What I would try is this: In spotlight, type in front (should be enough, if not type more) and open Frontrow.pkg. Reinstall it to see if they still show up.

    Aha. I hadn't tried that. I will try that when I get home from work and post back my results!

    You could try binning com.apple.frontrow.plist first.

    I tried deleting the preferences file, however that didn't work.



    Any other suggestions?
