Im using MediaLink 2.0 beta and its a good choice too, I tried all of the above and ended with MediaLink. Plex did work for me, but since it uses more CPU resources and crashes sometimes I´ll keep using this one.

PS: Im also using file sharing (SMB) on OSX to stream to boxee on other PCs/Macs in the house,…

I bought and use Rivet - not knowing that Rivet will not play the new supposedly DRM “free” music from itunes.

Tested Connect360 - it will at least transcode the “protected” AAC from itunes to mp3 so i can truly listen to my whole library - so I may buy this because of how many songs I have purchased from itunes thinking that they would play on my xbox- sense the are DRM free NOT.

Playback like Rivet should be more clear - in that it can not clearly playback ALL of you media from you mac - only some, but I guess that would not be a great sales line. “Stream most of, or some of you media from your mac to….”

Over the years I have used Connect360, Rivet and a trial of Playback.
Out of those I preferred Rivet.

Recently I have really enjoyed “PS3 Media Server” price is too hard to refuse, and with built-in transcoding of other formats provides access to even more media than ever before.

I have found the stability of PS3 Media Server my only reason to fall back to using Rivet.

I’d have to agree with the votes for PS3 Media Server. The fact that it’s free and can stream MKV should crown it king.

Now, really, PS3 Media Server owns them all… It’s FREE and it also streams stuff like MKV movies that are not allowed to be streamed by Rivet, et al.

Shame on the advertisement-like post. Next time be clear, please put a disclaimer on top and I won’t have to waste my time with a “review”…
