Cross-platform media player XBMC gets a great-looking new update
XBMC is a cross-platform, open-source media center app that can play almost any file format and makes a perfect companion for your home theater system. On top of its other attractive features -- it's compatible with all sorts of remote controls, and can even be installed on the original XBOX! -- the latest version of XBMC includes a sweet-looking new default skin.
The new look, Confluence, is a gorgeous combination of some of the most popular XBMC skins, and it looks great on a big TV or HD display. The new eye candy in the latest update also comes with new features and fixes, including smart playlists, better subtitle support (including Blu-Ray subtitles) and better RAW image support.
XBMC is available for Mac, Linux and Windows, with the Windows version now packing DirectX support by default.

Snazzy :) Just wish XBMC had better support for FLV on the Xbox... then it would be 125% perfect :D

its just a shame development for the xbox hardware version is dropping behind... dont expect all these new shiny features if you install on xbox hardware, i compiled the latest release for xbox (Revision 26094) a couple of days ago and it still uses the older version (babylon 9.04) and not the new version pictured above (camelot 9.11)...
this new version has only been released for osx, linux, windows, apple tv and on a live disk / pen drive (bundled with a stripped down copy of ubuntu)
