DEUCEDAVIS I'm an avid and loyal Mac fan. I was skeptical about trying out XBMC on my ATV and Mac, but I have to tell you that it is superb. . . I used to use iTunes and the aTV Front Row interface for some time, but I was looking for another solution that would simplify everything and hopefully could get some better performance. I have to say . . . xbmc!!! did it for me. I simply rip my DVD and xbmc does the rest . . . scraping for all of the information and much more. Before, I had to manually change the file information via iTunes. No More, now I just dump my file to the NAS location, and the xbmc scraper does the rest. The performance improvement . . . tremendous. I used to have intermittent choppiness via aTV and Front Row when accessing the files on my NAS Server . . . no more, well, at least not yet. I've been testing non-stop for the last week or so. As for the installation process. It was easy too. I was worried about possibly bricking my aTV, but following the instructions to the tee . . . no problem. I cannot rave enough about xbmc! I will still use iTunes for my music, the aTV interface for rentals, but for my own collection of movies, I'm going with xbmc. I've loaded it on my aTV, macbook, and iMac. get it, use it, you won't regret it.
