Digital Home Thoughts: XBMC Finds Eden

"XBMC, our favorite software for setting up a custom media center, upgraded to a new version this weekend with lots of new features. Here's a look at what you'll find."

From AirPlay to performance improvements, XBMC has gone through a major overhaul with its latest version. For myself, the most notable difference I've seen with Eden is the new interface. The old interface, while pleasant enough, started to feel somewhat dated. The new setup looks much slicker and feels easier to navigate. With all the effort and cost that goes into creating a decent sized collection of movies, tv shows, family videos and the like, it is nice to see all that hard work reflected with some wow factor. I am just waiting to see if XBMC will go the route of Boxee and start offering their own hardware solution!
