More Mac Mini home theater stuff

beautyshot_macmini_050111There's been a lot of talk on various sites along the lines of my previous Mac Mini post.  Most of them come to the same conclusion, both the hardware and software are lacking, but with a little extra money and a little extra work, you can probably create a pretty nice little HTPC system.  Here's some good sites that have some more information:

  • Mac HTPC - Site that just started and discusses all things HTPC on the Mac.
  • Mac Media Center - Forum created so people can work on a Media Center application for the Mac
  • MythTV on OSX - Apparently MythTV has already been ported to OS X.  I looked at MythTV a while back, it looked pretty slick.

Since my MCE is up and running stable, I don't see myself switching to a Mac Mini for my home theater any time soon, but it would be a fun project to play with...

OS X only runs the Myth TV frontend ...not the meat of the program. You still need to have a linux box for that.
