I used to use Boxee and it was pretty nice but then I found Plex. Mac only though: http://www.plexapp.com/

Give both a try... see what you prefer.


XBMC is also good and available for Mac, Win and Linux: http://xbmc.org/


Very nice! Thanks for the link. It's OSS just like Plex which is great.


What's Boxee's legal deal? They allow you to play Hulu's content without using the Hulu player, which seems to violate the TOS.

"With respect to Hulu's video player, you must not modify, enhance, or otherwise alter in any way any portion of the video player or its underlying technology. This restriction includes disabling or otherwise modifying the video service in a manner that enables users to view the Content without using the Hulu video player."


Am I a fossil for just streaming all of my video to my tv through an Xbox 360? uTorrent + tvrss.net + Xbox 360 = cable + dvr - $80/mo.


Boxee is awesome if you've seen it in action. Too bad it won't run on my Powerbook... D:
