XBMC Media Center 9.11

Competition in the field of multimedia players is very tough. Such programs are indispensable for everyone (unless we use our computer only as a typewriter or YouTube browser), and there are plenty of them available on the market. XBMC is an excellent, open source program bound to meet the expectations of even the most demanding users. It may be used as an ordinary player or as a multimedia centre for our house.

The player reads practically all multimedia formats available on the market with the additional possibility of reading streams form the Internet. Of course, as a multimedia centre, the program supports the process of sending multimedia via the local network and can play them in any place within our house. It is excellent even when used as an ordinary player as it automatically scans all the media on the hard disk and downloads all data necessary for creating a precise multimedia library, including the covers, data about the album, author and many, many other.

The program can also be configured so that it works as remotely-controlled multimedia centre. Thanks to its support for various remote-control tools, XBMC can be adjusted to our own requirements and controlled as a DVD player.

The program’s interface is very comfortable and enjoyable to use. It allows us to take a full advantage of the program’s options as well as from its quick configuration. Another advantage is a quick installation and no need to install any extra libraries. Simply, the package includes all the elements necessary for it to function properly.
