FrontTV 1.0

 
 

FrontTV is a PlugIn component for Front Row 2.0 that ships with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.  Once installed you can launch Elgato’s EyeTV software from inside of Front Row.  The program also ensures that once launched, EyeTV remains the active application until it is quit allowing the full screen menu to be accessed using the Apple IR remote control.  The EyeTV application must reside in your Applications folder for this software to work.

This software is based exclusively on the FrontMyth example from the open source FrontPython project at http://code.google.com/p/frontpython/ and full credit goes to the original author.  I have simply modified the source code to launch the EyeTV application instead of MythTV.
