@PropellerBusted You can send Boxee or XBMC commands to any IP address with KinEmote. So you could run KinEmote on a PC with the Kinect attached to it and have it run your remote media computer.

We built it this way as many people run their media computers on servers or dedicated boxes that they don't want to keep in the same room that are viewing their media.

That's Boxee

@mythpbx If you can only find the damn thing.

[MrRewind86]

[xover76]

what's the range?

sitting position?

Add some backjack hand signals and I'll give it a shot.

[xbadxboyx]

You need to add gestors that take the least amount of effort. If someone can invent a device that will read our minds. I'll ditch my remote.

Why the hell would this be easier? Seems to be slow and a big pain. A remote would be way quicker and smoother experience

@griffindodd It's interesting. Since posting that comment I got the Kinect but don't the nav features so much. So perhaps I was hasty when I said it was a MUST. My PC can barely run XBMC it's so old. It's basically a torrent slave these days. It's still good for video encoding but not playback. My MacBook Pro does all the multimedia stuff these days. I've controlled Plex (XBMC) via my Andriod so I see what you mean.

Thanks for the reply. ^__^
