XBMC being ported to Leopard

This is truly fantastic! Now please give us a new mac mini with blu-ray!!! Steve, please!!!

Well. I'd actually like for XBMC to be open ported properly to Linux to it can be included in things like the freecom mediaplayer and other media disks. Their player interfaces are usually teh suck.

Other than that, I'd like to be able to use it in my far-less-bulky Wii.

In reality I'd like to be able to keep using it in my Xbox, but the thing has started hanging and freezing up on me. I'm not surprised, as the thing has seen five houses, three cities and two continents in its 7 years.

I just finished building an Hackintosh for the exact purpose of using it as a FrontRow machine for my entertainment center. Just got Leopard 10.5.1 up running on it lastnight. :)

I'm a huge fan of XBMC and have been running it on my xbox for years now. I'd be really interested in seeing out this turns out.

I originally started this project with Vista Media Center, but having no list view drove me nuts with directories with over 200 flicks in em. So it's Leopard's FrontRow for now. :)

OMG this was the best news I've heard this year! (har-har)

I'm still running my old xbox with XBMC because I can't find a replacement that work as well. The software is fantastic, and with the XTV-skin (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?s=d1aa365c09a7f9eb10d26cb0e57122a7&showtopic=583541)
it looks lie front row but with better support for formats and with way better flexibility. However, I do miss the ability to play HD-clips on since the xbox is to weak. A pumped up Mac Mini with this thing running would be the bomb, and would totally kill AppleTV. A wonderful thought, let's just hope they get it to work.

I have four xbox's with xbmc on them. One on each TV. They access my 2TB of movies I have shared on a PC in my office. so all 4 can access any movie/tv show at any time simultaneously. And, you can get used xbox's at gamestop for like $80. Show me another $80 player than do a fraction of what xbmc can do.

XBMC is pure gold, I'm still using my ancient XBOX for media playing (oh ok, and some emulator sessions).

I think i'd have to pick up a Mac Mini if this works all nice, like.

is there a way to use the apple remote with xbmc on xbox and IR Adapter?

This is the best New Years present a media-lovin' Mac fan could ask for. I used XBMC for a long time as my main media center and it served me well, except for the dodgy support for iTunes (DAAP) streaming. Nowadays I've been using the PS3/TwonkyMedia with limited success, and been strongly thinking about a Mac mini. Was pondering dual-booting Linux for XBMC, so this is perfect.

With an OS X-focused port well under way, hopefully iTunes and iPhoto will gain better support, as well as perhaps a more elegant interface (XBMC's interface is polished and efficient, but it doesn't quite have that Apple sparkle).

Whatever the case, this elan guy knows his stuff and deserves a ton of praise for his efforts.

As for CenterStage, I think there's room for those guys to continue with their vision. Competition never hurts! But they do have a long way to go to reach the maturity of XBMC.

XBMC is my favorite media center application. It is a lot better than XBOX 360, PS3 and also Apple TV.

Hope that the dev can put it to work before my 6-year old XBOX dies.
