As we all know the new mac mini's are soon coming out, i was wondering if anyone knows of a Mac like Media Center Application comparable to Windows Media Center Edition. If there is not, i have started looking into developing such an application and started looking into doing some concept art as well..

Thoughts and Suggestions Welcome

I love macs and all but I would never try to set one up as a HTPC maybe if someone ported ffdshow and powerstrip but thats not going to happen anytime soon (if ever)

ffdshow/mplayer/vlc all run great on OS X, and there are many apps that use ffmpeg like ffmpegX and HandBrake.

I should have been more clear, i was looking for Software Only Solutions for this, i have yet to find one, so i am going to make one. It's going to be very mac'ish using all the fun of quartz extreme and openGL for the interface. Im working on getting concept art and concept flash demo's put together.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
