Linux Mint Solution Guide

XBMC

XBMC is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for

digital media. XBMC is a non-profit project run and developed by volunteers located around the world. While

XBMC functions very well as a standard media player application for your computer, it has been designed to

be the perfect companion for your Home Theater PC. Supporting an almost endless range of remote controls,

and combined with its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, XBMC feels very natural to use from

the couch and is the ideal solution for your home theater .

With built-in, as well as third party, repositories for add-ons, the capabilities of XBMC running on the Intel

NUC are endless. This is a major advantage of the Intel NUC versus standalone media player devices.

Installing XBMC

XBMC can be easily installed using the Software Manager contained within the Linux Mint Operating System.

The Software Manger will download and install XBMC with relative ease. In order to install XBMC, the Linux
