I'm trying to help my sister out to setup her laptop as a HTPC, using this video from CNET:
I was thinking of putting XBMC on her laptop because of how many more apps & options are on it over Plex, but my sister is not tech-savvy & Plex is WAY easier to use. My sister doesn't wanna buy a dedicated media/streaming box like a AppleTV or Roku when she already has laptop that she barely uses since she bought a iPad. And she definitely ain't gonna want to buy a dedicated remote/mini-keyboard like in that CNET video to control her laptop HTPC, when she can just use an app on her iPad, iPhone or Android Phone.
What apps y'all recommend?
