Default XBMC Media Player

Anyone use this free media player?

Its great for doing everything in the one place and also if you have the right source links you can add the XMBC Hub and it gives you allsorts of channels for movies, music, sports you name it it's on there and you can go to say putlocker or 1channel etc and search through all the movies without having to visit the website.

This way it bypasses the sky and other ISP website blocks.



Oh this is the link for the media player,

http://xbmc.org/

if anyone downloads it and wants the source link for the hub (all the good stuff) let me know.

Edit - I forgot to add you can also install this on your Ios and Androids

Its definitely safe.

Are you downloading it onto a tablet or phone though? I only installed it on one of my laptops and it was all ok apart from saying the publisher couldn't be verified but that's only because it's open source software.

This is the wiki for it

Took me a good few hours to work it out and my friend had written a short tutorial out on paper which was quite basically awful so I ended up searching youtube and tons came up, watched one 5 minute tute and that was me sorted.

I love it

I couldn't watch anything decent online for ages because sky was blocking the websites so it helps a lot in that way for me.
