XBMC iPhone Remote battles for control of my living-room

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

I have to admit, my XBMC (Unofficial Xbox Media Center) hasn’t been getting much use since I got an Xbox 360 and installed Connect360 on my Mac. Besides only having one HDMI port on my TV, the Xbox 360 is just so much slicker to use. After playing a game, I can just pop-over to the Media section, see all the videos on my Mac, and start playing them. But I definitely miss some of the features of the XBMC. It was so easy to watch YouTube videos, check the weather, watch DivX natively, etc.

Enter: The XBMC iPhone Remote. Similar to the Apple TV/iTunes remote, this iPhone app lets you control your XBMC over wifi. Check out the interface in these screenshots for finding media. Slick, really slick.

At the end of the day, the Xbox 360 probably has a permanent home in my living room. But this app just might have given my XBMC a new home on my second TV ;)
