Mac Based Media Centers: iTheater

Written on January 30, 2005 by Twist and 1 person has commented

Since my original post about the Mac Media Center Project there has been another project started along the same lines. The new project is know as iTheater.

There isn’t that much difference between the two projects other than the fact that iTheater is planning on supporting all Mac’s and not just the Mac mini. Of course with the way Mac OS X is and the way most of the hardware is pretty much the same there is really no reason that the Mac Media Center Project’s solution wouldn’t work on any Mac, but hopefully the iTheater team lusts after the Hauppauge PVR cards as much as I do.

Both teams are still looking for team members to help develop their applications so if you are a programmer with some free time pick a team and start helping out.

    I have been following the Mac Media Center since the begining, and I know for a fact that it is not singling out the mac mini… granted it is the inspiration, however it is open for all mac platforms. Just thought id try to clear a few things up
