This way, Plex will serve up the media, via TV remote or Roku remote and the desktop can be used for anything else at same time. |

VM can accept a second input forum.codecall.net (scroll down) I like the XBMC interface and skins, but would Plex be easier? I'm still going to try to do a hackintosh though. Thanks for all the replys everyone! |
