Mac Mini HTPC without Frontrow?

[KettyKrueger]

Hi all,

I'm considered a switch to a Mac Mini HTPC, maybe getting the EyeTV too.

I've got a few movies purchased from the iTunes Store, how do I go about watching them now that Apple have discontinued Frontrow? Do any of the third-party media apps (Plex et al) okay DRM movies?

Thanks in advance, KK

Plex wont play DRM movies..

But iTunes (using Quicktime) will play them for you.

Just use your iPhone and Remote App to for movie watching.

Thanks for the replies.

I was afraid that no third-party player could ply DRM content.

I could just use the Remote app but it's not an elegant solution.

Might have to keep my Apple TV

Thanks anyway.

There is a certain (free) tool floating around which can be used to remove DRM on iTunes content. It's not one of those ridiculous screen recorder ones either. You just need to look for it.

link?

I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to that sort of thing, hence I didn't link to it. It's called 'Requiem'.
