XBMC is a free and open source media player and entertainment center for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, XBox, and iOS. XBMC is designed to be the perfect companion to a home theater PC- it supports an almost endless range of remote controls, and combined with its beautiful (and highly "skinnable") interface, XBMC feels very natural to use from the couch.
Currently XBMC can be used to play almost all popular audio and video formats around. It was designed for network playback, so you can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet using practically any protocol available.
