Have you tried Plex? I've been a dedicated Plex user for a while now, but I've noticed quite a few bugs lately and development seems to have slowed on the desktop client as of late (though I recent blog post says they'll be getting back to it soon). I just want to know if I should consider switching to XBMC.


I'm on Plex .8 because Plex .9 didn't allow delete. There was a shitstorm in the forums about this, and it's been implemented, so I never upgraded. The other thing I hated about Plex .9 was the UI. I really liked the "browse by filesystem." I'm considering giving XBMC a try again (I started with that and went to Plex when they had much better Mac support).


Nice... I'm considering switching over to XBMC for a week or two to see how I like it. I might write a blog post to compare the two soon. Moving this week though, so it might be a while.


Plex requires snow leopard which you won't find on old mac minis.


I've got the base model of the newest line of Mac Minis running Plex. It surprisingly pretty choppy and slow at times.
