Plugins Compatible with 2.1

Does Patchstick still work?
- Patchstick works
Will this undo my custom apps?
- Yes, it will definitely undo any Finder plug-ins, not sure about the Applications directory, but I can confirm that it empties out the /Library/QuickTime/ directory
Will it mess with files inside the frontrow directory?
- Your "frontrow" directory (~/) will be left intact.
Ruin my samba server and take away my external USB hard drive?
- Yes it will break Samba, as well as SSHD. You'll need to Patchstick again to get SSH working. AFP server works after NitoTV 0.4.8 installation.
Do network mounts still work?
- AFP mounts and Samba mounts work after NitoTV 0.4.8 installation.
What custom apps will work after being re-installed?
- nitoTV works :) --Nito 09:28, 12 July 2008 (CEST)
- Home MediaCloud installs safely, but crashes the Finder when you attempt to browse directories
- ATVFiles has been reported as still working but has issue displaying folder images which causes Finder to crash.
  - Playing movies with AC3 passthrough seems to crash Finder for me as well --Rekoil 12:22, 14 July 2008 (CEST)
    - Edit: AC3 Passthrough Appears to be working now with ATVFiles 1.1.1.
- iClarified USB Patch (built using 2.0.2) confirmed working in 2.1
- CouchSurfer crashes with Quicktime and Flash plugins (tried hulu.com)
Is it now possible to select the track / language to play for files with multiple audio tracks (Handbrake)?
- As yet unanswered

RUIPreferenceManager is gone, there is a new BRPreferences-FRExtensions that is probably some type of replacement

the BackRow framework now has two new frameworks inside, BackRowFoundation.framework and BackRowHardware.framework. Some classes have been moved around like screen release and AC3 control

BRMediaPreviewControllerFactory has been replaced with BRMediaPreviewControlFactory
