You can't add.avi to iTunes. What you would need to do is get Quicktime Pro, open up the movie in Quicktime, then go to File > Save As and choose Reference movie. This will save a small 2-3MB.mov file in the same folder as the.avi which you can add to iTunes which will allow the full movie to be played in the iTunes player and Front Row. And if you don't have pro (or are lazy like me) I use Perian and then VLC when I want to output to an external monitor ( I can never get it to use the right one in Quicktime).

How to use these skins? Skins do not work on Mac OS X! Put the downloaded VLT files in the following folder: • On Windows: the skins folder in the VLC installation directory (e.g. C: Program Files VideoLAN VLC skins) • On Linux/Unix: ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2 Then open your VLC settings and change your interface from native to skins. You can choose your desired skin already there or change it when you are in the skins mode by rightclicking somewhere on the skin and going to Interface>Choose Skin. Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password no) osx. VLC needs to be restarted to change to skins mode.

C) Check that your firewall allows connections to VLC. Launch the System Preferences application, then click on Security and then Firewall. The simplest option (the one I use) is to simply leave the firewall off - but assuming you have it turned on then click on the lock on the bottom left to unlock the settings, then click on advanced on the bottom right. Using VLC for some of the content solves that problem. I can either drag a file directly into VLC for playback or just navigate the Plex server from the VLC interface.
