My new media center
September 28, 2009
I installed Plex Media Center for OS X on my Intel Mac Mini and hooked it up to the HDTV. This is a perfect alternative to my classic Xbox running Xbox Media Center since the older hardware simply lacks the capability to play HD content. To control the Mini, I use Rowmote Pro on my iPhone.
Originally I was running Windows 7 in a VM and steaming media to the Xbox 360, but it didn't take long to realize how horrible of an idea that was. It's a huge relief not having to deal with that mess anymore.
