RE: HD media player - consensus on the best?

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes - have tried all three.

Plex - on a mac mini - but didn't have horsepower for bluray rips
Boxee - much more focused on Social Media
XBMC - currently the prettiest of the three in its current form (just my
opinion)

I've installed the iPlayer/Youtube/Apple trailers on XMBC all work great,
which didn't when I tried them on Plex (though that was some time ago)

Ian/Dean,

Have you tried Boxee instead of XBMC? Any thoughts?

I guess Plex is the other alternative - but a latest mac mini is just too
expensive :(
