This is my first post and I have to say I am quite impressed with the XBMC project which I have only recently discovered.
Today I decided to take it to the next level. I went out and purchased a Mac Mini (OSX 10.6) with the new Apple Remote. I installed XBMC and added my collection of Movies/TV Shows to the library from my external hard drive. After downloading all the artwork it looks amazing on my TV (50" plasma panasonic). My only complaint is the apple remote has serious lagging issues when using any button on any menu.
* The menu on XBMC is quick when using my wireless keyboard
* Front Row is quick to navigate when using the apple remote
* I've found dozens of posts on this forum and others detailing the same issue on XBMC and Plex with no results. although all the posts I came across were nearly a year old, so I wanted to see if there had been any progress lately.
The apple remote works, but most of the time I have to hit the button 2-3 times to go through, which gets extremely frustrating. it's like there is some kind of delay or data loss with each click of the button. but it's not the hardware as it works perfect in front row. any ideas?
