:D

I knew there was a Win32 version in the pipeline but thought they were just concentrating mainly on the Linux port.

The PM3.HD skin they've got with the new version in lovely.

Running the new XBox I got hold of on our HD telly and it really does look great with the PM3.HD skin at 720p.

I'm guessing it will support a remote, obviously the XBox version supports the XBox remote but what makes me think it will is that the Linux version supported the XBox controller without any drivers or messing around.

I had an XBox to USB adapter to use the controllers on my PC and happened to have it still plugged in when I was playing XBMC in ubuntu and the controller worked a treat. I say worked a treat, it worked like it does on the XBox!

Because if you didn't know about it before and you thought it was crappy and Microsoft, there's no helping you, Mr Preconceived Notions?

It's only just gone multi-plaform now, but it's always been open source (what with the slightly dubious legal status of compiled versions), with a wealth of codecs and stuff. Given the extreme lack of alternatives, Softmodded Xbox + big HD + XBMC = the best way to get a large-capacity media jukebox on the cheap!

There's been an OSX version for a while that works really well. All I want is for someone to make a Wii version.

I've got my Wii all homebrewed up, and MPlayerWii plays files from external USB disks... but has no interface. Gah.

What Kenny said, and I assume you've ignored any post/threads that involve XBMC because I've mentioned XBMC for Linux on here quite a few times!!

But anyway, download and have fun!

Full Release version has now been made available.

No longer in Beta. I'll try the Live version some point soon!
