XBMC --- The best media center for free

前言:
XBMC (Xbox Media Center)源於XBOX的一個家庭媒體撥放中心軟體，目前已開源並且被移植到一般家用電腦，不論何種系統Windows、Mac、Linux現在均可完美執行。近期智慧型手機與平板的盛行，XBMC也可順利在其裝置上執行。此軟體有著任何格式都可撥放，以及豐富的網路資源，使我們很容易的就可以在自家中建立一個家庭多媒體中心。此篇文章將簡單描述如何在各裝置中安裝XBMC軟體，並且於安裝完成的第一時間建構豐富的資源來"免費"觀賞影音。


A. 安裝XBMC軟體
 至官方網站下載相對應軟體http://xbmc.org/download/並且按照安裝步驟即可完成安裝手續

B. 安裝各種資源外掛
XBMC有著豐富的外掛資源(Add-on)，但是若要一個一個加入就太耗費精神與時間。
所幸有些網站有整理一次安裝的方法，來方便我們設定。
