Another Home Theater PC Program to Try

Xlobby is a free home theater PC program available for windows. I’ve seen quite a few people mention it and it looks like it has all of the standard features you would want out of a Media Center alternative like the ability to view and play your music and DVD’s. The user interface is similar to Media Center but the implementation is quite different and has some nice features that Media Center doesn’t. It has an open architecture so you can write your own plugins which is always nice. What really interested me about this program is that over on the AVS forum someone mentioned that there was a plugin available to control certain DVD changers via the serial port.
Does anyone have any feedback on Xlobby – good or bad?

You ought to try Meedio. It's not free, but it's cheap and it's been around for a long time (originally called myHTPC).

Has some cababilities like media center but wow what a childish, crappy interface. One of the things I love about mce2005 is the awsome interface and just the way it flows through transitions, its just awsome and have yet to see any alternative media solution match it, even tivo is clunky
