This is such a great alternative to Front Row; XHub has many wonderful capabilities. I only wish it worked well enough with other processes on my computer. It frequently causes Leopard to freeze up when launched (and the difference is almost immediately noticed), as well as disabling another preference pane entirely. I contacted the developer about this, but he doesn't seem to care. He seems more interested in telling other people how they're wrong than actually accepting the fact that there's something wrong with his work.

It's a crying shame, since the latest release of Front Row, while stable, has an even more pathetic interface.

This is just the best mediacenter app out there.
Forget about all the others. Trust me.
Five stars and great support too.
Why? It looks great! There are skins. Easy to manage. Just works. Coverflow on your lcd-tv!
All content available via a remote. Plays almost every video file even from mounted volumes!
Got a MacMini? Got a big Tv? Got loads of movies, music and pictures? Try it! Simple as that.

One of the...if not the best, media center out there for the mac. Have used it from the early versions and it has evolved quite a bit. The support is excellent and its great to have the author actually take into account suggestions and implementations.

XHub integrates very well with Salling clicker and together they provide quite an experience in the Mac Home Media Center!!
