XBMC for Mac OS X

[ayzee88]

Brilliant video demoing this software. It is so frustrating using frontrow for mac after seeing all it could have been watching this video. Being able to change the sort order and the queuing option is such common sense.

jag behöver hjälp med att skaffa själva film fodralet till filmer, hur gör jag? :)

[Superedwin97]

how to you get posters to your movie preview? :D

[sigalakos]

it's a feature of Plex/XBMC if you set the content of the folder as Movies, the app does a scrape of titles in popular websites like IMDB and finds the corresponding info.

[FillyVanilly]

now what is this? PLEX or XMBC?

i use plex cause i think xmbc is dfficult to configure!

can i get this skin for plex? what is it called?

[sigalakos]

This was XBMC, I now use Plex for the OSX specific features like Aliases, Smart Folders etc. These are various skins you can use for Plex, although the standard Mediastream skin is the best. You can use them at Plex as well, just do a Google search for XBMC skins.

[sigalakos]

This is a fairly big process to explain and I suggest you do a search on Plex's forum as I'm sure there is a guide for you somewhere. Basically the skin's name is called xTV and features all those things like CoverFlow view. You just have to install it on /Applications/Plex/Contents/Re­sources/Plex/skin and then select it from the Appearance within Plex. I hope that helps! Once you are at it try the awesome new skin called MediaSmart!

[HitAKADylan]

I hope I don't bother you by asking how you did those tweaks

I downloaded Plex(XBMC mac)

But how did you get those things like coverflow and front row theme

Also how do you even get an album art for movies/series

[keniff13]

Great Music! Who is it?

[sigalakos]

It's Gus Gus, titled Forever, from the album with the same title!

[keniff13]

Sorry Siglakos, I've just scrolled through yuor other comments here and realised I'm the "umpteenth" person to ask about the music! Still a great tune though.

[ArtManNL]

Are you sure? I searched in iTunes and that sounds different. Can you please check again?

[sigalakos]

You're right! It's titled: If you don't jump (you're English)" from GusGus album: Forever.

[ArtManNL]

Thanks mate! (I am dutch by the way ;-))

[sigalakos]

Amsterdam rocks! And I'm Greek :-)

[johnnycashblog]

much to complicated user interface. simplify it, to make it a mac app

[Ryguy1450]

try PLEX built using XBMC open source code.

[latzen]

que buena pinta tiene , parece mejor que el frontrow, ademas creo que tiene ya soporte para el mando de apple.

poco a poco van sliendo cosas interesantes para OSX

[breathingthefumes]

Awesome job. How did you get coverflow working? I have the xtv skin but cant find the view option for this :)

[sigalakos]

It's not called Coverflow for obvious reason. Just switch possible View Types and you will stumble upon it :-)

[breathingthefumes]

I ended up having to install a seperate script to get it to work.. but all good now :)

[MacProsa]

:-)) ja, det er sgu' humor....

[zegita]

[ciddjr]

[formsoldier]

[sigalakos]

It's Gus Gus, titled Forever, from the album with the same title!

[formsoldier]

Thanks!

I've just tried XBMC for OS X. It's reall great :D

[ncpr707]

this is super sick! I can't wait to buy a mac mini and hook this up to my tv in the living room. anyone know if XBMC will have emulation support? please message or comment me back if you know. cheers!

[sigalakos]

if by emulation support you're refering to mame games, then yes, it's planned for future releases!

[twitch451]

Who's the music by for this?

[sigalakos]

It's Gus Gus, titled Forever, from the album with the same title!

[sbarton]

found it on iTunes Under Gusgus...funny some albums are under "Gus Gus" and a couple are listed under "Gusgus"

[2ShaeNL]

I must be really stupid or blind because I haven't found a way to get it in fullscreen on my iMac.

ps: TAB button doesn't work for me btw.

[sigalakos]

[Lullu75]

Hi is it possible to use XBMC on Mini Mac and connect it to Full HD LCD TV via HDMI?

thanks

[sigalakos]

Please visit the forum, for all your questions

[frekje]

Extremely cool project! Congratulations =)

[JELaVallee]

Very cool stuff, tho I wonder how smart it is to be showing off that you have movies on your mac mini that have yet to be release as DVDs much less digital downloads? 8^)

I can't wait to get this on my mini HTPC machine this weekend... and here I was going to waste the time hacking ATV-2's backrow interace onto my mini.

[sigalakos]

Those movies are only trailers for educational use. ;-)

[JELaVallee]

Ah! Here I was thinking that either a) you were one of those lucky movie reviewers who gets ligit "screeners" or b) you've hacked Leopard's Time Machine to find video files from the future (snark).
