Hi All

Many thanks

I like Plex myself, it's aimed more at setting up a media server but you can use it equally well on the machine it's installed on

+1 for Plex

I use Serviio. Again it's a media server - seems to get cover art from somewhere.

I use Windows media center coupled with Media Browser and Media center Master. Requires a bit of setting up but looks good with covers, backdrops, and all the metadata you could ever want

I'd recommend XBMC - with the artwork plugin

It can be run on a Pi (Xbian would be my recommendation) that connects to a back end NAS/File Server...

I love Plex

 

Have a media server and several clients from TV to tablets. Wife friendly and keeps the kids entertained too.

 

Can be used with both the server and client on a single machine.

I used MediaPortal until very recently, when I got a Roku then I switched over to Plex.

I used Plex and an app for Samsung TV. Found it clunky at times and have just switched to XBMC, much better in my opinion.

Another Plex user here. PS3 pick's up via DLNA, PS4 works with the web interface. More interestingly, sky have released a version of the Roku LT for £9.99 as part of their NowTV push (http://www.nowtv.com/box) and it's apparantly possible to sideload the Plex App onto it...(http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/av-distribution/now-tv-10-minute-hack-10-wireless-plex-media-player.html)...I'm VERY tempted to get one.

+1 for XBMC, only problem is - I don't have a spare machine which I can plug into my TV right now to put it on.

surprised it took so long for xbmc to be mentioned, thought it was an obvious choice

I have tried Plex and Xbmc over the years and have settled on Plex, stable and simple to use.

I can confirm you can sideload Plex onto the NowTV box, i've done it myself. Also +1 for Plex

Thank $diety for that! I've just ordered one! (I thought - "£10, got to be worth a punt").

You need to turn on dev-mode and then load the plex app file in via a web gui....hardest part is getting the key combo pressed it fast enough (its not far of being the Kanomi Code either)

How about this?
