XBMC

Today I'm bringing you a video on how to install XBMC on your Mac. The process is the same for Windows. For those who don't know, XBMC was known years ago as Xbox Media Center, since it was designed for use on the Microsoft game console now known as the original Xbox. It's a multimedia center (like FrontRow but more powerful) where you can organize your entire music library and video collection through a very user-friendly and customizable graphical interface. XBMC was ported to run natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can also find it for Apple TV, a full "Live" version for use from a USB device, Apple TV 2, iPhone, and iPad (the latter three require jailbreaking).

Here are the installation steps. I've also included the video.

Step 1: Download the program from the XBMC website for Mac, Linux, or Windows

How do we install it?

It's quite simple: download and install it like any other macOS program. Open the DMG file , and the typical window will appear (see image below). Simply drag the XBMC icon to the shortcut in your Applications folder, and you're done.

Now we're going to install Navi-X, which will allow us to access all kinds of TV programs, including movies, TV shows, animated films, and much more . To do this, you need to download the following file, BUT DO NOT UNZIP IT.
