First of all, is it possible to get OSX to play the APPLE TV start up move before opening the app (Script, Automator, Wizardry{use the last one!})

I have implimented the Command TAB function but when i use it in APPLE TV to change application, the application selected does not show over the APPLE TV screen!

HELP!

Hi Matthew :)

2 answers :

1st : Yes it is possible to do this, you'll have to add an applescript that launches the intro.mov in full screen fisrt and then that calls the AppleTV BackRow app.

I'm working on an app that will setup the video and the screen resolution if needed.

2nd : Plz don't ask same question in different threads, i've already answered to you here > http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showpost.php?p=3858&postcount=41

Thx.

Here is how I did it

I have vlc instaled in applications

and intro.mov on my desktop

I also set vlc to open in full screen

i have apple tv replacing front row app



tell application "Finder"
activate
select window of desktop
select window of desktop
open document file "Intro.mov" of folder "Desktop" of folder "midwest138" of folder "Users" of startup disk using application file "VLC.app" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
tell application "VLC"
delay 18
end tell
select window of desktop
select Finder window 1
open application file "Front Row.app" of folder "CoreServices" of folder "Library" of folder "System" of startup disk
select Finder window 1
end tell



now save script as application

to make your own just run apple script editor

hit record on editor>open movie>open apple tv app(double click) close apple tv

then stop apple script record

make sure to add delay 18 between actions

add apple tv icon from here http://www.railheaddesign.com/index.php/pages/icons/
