  1. OSX Users by 0100010001010011 · · Score: 5, Informative · on XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform

    OS X Users might want to check out: http://plexapp.com/

    This group forked from XBMC a while ago. It was originally called OSXBMC but to differentiate from the 'official' OSX XBMC release they renamed to Plex.

    I've played around with it for a while and it is absolutely gorgeous. Each release gets it more and more integrated with OSX. Apple remote, mouse, local file system, etc.

    They've also teamed up with CenterStage to work towards a more OSX like GUI.

    Currently my XBOX, bought for $75 used, is going strong. Served via the XBMC protocol running on a debian server with 2 TB of data. pytvshows and rtorrent are nearly as good as a DVR (considering I work second shift) and ... There just aren't more words to describe how awesome the XBMC project is and how far it has come in the last 3 years I've used it.

    I'll have to check out the other release tonight to see how it compares.

    What would be needed to make this happen? Maybe an external USB CableCard 2.0 slot? Or a USB HD tuner? Seems the Mac Mini could already be a very nice media center and could support downloadable content with a broadband connection. Just need something along these lines as an add-ons.

    But a CableCard 2.0 slot would be key to any media center, or else having the option of connecting a cablecard 2.0 device to the mini via firewire or USB.

    It kinda reminds me of the Center Stage Project, which was an Open Source app designed for the Mini with the same features.

    When I move out, I will buy me a mac mini for use as a HTPC.

    Have a look at CenterStage

    CenterStage is on open source project to build a powerful and intuitive media center application for the Apple Macintosh, this project was inspired by the launch of the Mac mini, an ideal Mac to use as part of a home theatre system.
