UPDATE: I tried an old harddrive backup and everything works fine. Apparently iTunes 7.2 breaks FrontRow.

I desperately need help on this. I have an iTunes library on 2 PCs and a Macbook. When I use FrontRow to play movies/tv/podcast video over a shared library i get this message:

"This shared video cannot be played
The shared video server may be having problems playing this video"


Now here's where it gets confusing. Through iTunes i can play vids over a shared library just fine. FrontRow does play shared music fine. And I experimented by mapping to the iTunes folders on the PC's, created video folder aliases and FrontRow plays the videos just fine. But again, going to shared libraries in FrontRow just wont play video of any sort (some paid for, some encoded, some downloaded from podcasts).

A number of people (myself included) have experienced the same problem. The solution is to kill off iTunes 7.2 and reinstall the older 7.1.1. More details and specific instructions are at this Apple support discussion thread: Apple - Support - Discussions - Not Playing Shared Videos after iTunes ...
