I love XBMC

If this is against the rules kill it, but I just needed to say how cool my current setup is. I have a program called TV Shows running on my Mac Mini with a 250gb HD connected. What this does is it allows me to subscribe to TV shows. Every 15 minutes it checks to see if there's a new episode out of my favourite show and downloads the torrent to Azureus. Azureus being clever it knows whats what and where to put it. From there I pop down stairs in the evening, update the library on XBMC and watch 'TV'. XBMC is also very clever. It doesn't list a dir full of stuff it lists shows, then by season and then by episode title. If I could only get XBMC to automate the update library bit I'd be laughing. Its awesome. I don't have to do anything apart from subscribe to things. Plus the Mini is super quiet so its easily on 24/7 and I plan to treat it to a 500GB drive soon. For backing up photos mainly

Shame that they're all ending this week though...
