XBMC On Nexus Devices

[Buntppp]

Hi. I have a Galaxy Nexus and will be hopefully ordering a Nexus 10 when back in stock. I have heard and read a few things about XMBC but I am confused on what it is actually used for and how it works?

Well others may use it differently but I have a NAS (network area storage) device at home and I have movies and home videos on it. Using xbmc on my N10 I can connect to that NAS and wirelessly stream that content and not have to worry about using the internal N10 storage to enjoy it. I believe you can use xbmc to detect content on any type of shared network drive or device, not just on a NAS. Hope that helps.

Didnt even know this is possible. Is there an app for that?

Check this site. It was just updated the other day and has some helpful instructions. http://www.xbmcandroid.com/2013/01/...iendly-release-of-xbmc-for-android-must-have/ Xbmc is the app, after that you just have to have a proper network share and xbmc has a number of options to search for network shares. I'm pretty sure there are more people here that are more knowledgeable than I am on this. Have to see what they say too.

I'm thinking of dling the xbmc but I have one question. Could I play the movies I have on iTunes through xbmc?

Wow that's a great question. I would think so if that media is on a shared folder on your network. Sorry I can't say for sure as I don't use iTunes.
