I recently bought an Xbox (first generation) to mod so that I could run Xbox Media Center (XBMC) on it. Virtually all the information I found on this project assumed you had a PC, which, as a Mac user, didn't help me much. So once I'd gotten everything working, I decided to put together a small site showing how I did it using my Mac. If anyone has anything to add I'd love to hear from them via the comments.

Set up an Xbox Media Center using a Mac
I'm using Xbox Media Center, and it's great! Am I missing something here, though? I don't see the content of the article....

Click the hyperlink in the article in the last sentence. That takes you to the author's web site which again just tells you he did it. The trick is to notice the links in the upper left corner of the screen which lead you through his steps in the process.

Oops, make that the link in the penultimate sentence (next to the last) in the article. Sorry, the Post a Comment page does not include easy visibility of previous posts so rather than go through the necessary contortions I tried to guess and missed. It isn't possible to edit your own comments after they've been posted? (Yes, I know and use the Preview feature, but it isn't sufficient).

I posted a how-to guide in my local Mac (Hong Kong) forum last year.

Do not bother with Sharepoints
Duh!
There goes another one… ^_- No need to install Sharepoints at all (even for sharing folders out of your home folder). Stick to Apple's solution and you'll save yourself problems. All explained here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=222010&st=30#entry3522561

I didn't need to use my Windows box, either. My route was similar: I bought three XBoxes used from gamestop, as well as three eXecuter chips with the Cromwell BIOS. At the time I didn't know a thing about XBMC and didn't plan on using the XBox for anything as silly as playing games; instead I planned to install Xebian Linux and use the XBox only as a front-end for MythTV. |
