What about Plex? IIRC it's a fork of XBMC and has been available for both iOS and Android for the last 6 months or so. Nothing against XBMC but Plex is probably a better choice right now if you want something stable.
- ZoFreX 14y agoUnfortunately, Plex is very slow - it requires much more powerful hardware than XBMC does (the PC version, that is - haven't tried the iOS version, and I couldn't get the Android version to work)
- hapless 14y agoPlex is closed source. An XBMC announcement is more exiting just by virtue of its open and non-proprietary nature.
- Feanim 14y agoPlex for iOS and Android is just a front end, you need the server-side of the software to convert video. XBMC can convert video on-the-fly, to do this on iOS it uses private API for hardware acceleration (and that's why you need to jailbreak your device to install it)
