XBMC

The XBMC application is not something new so once again you can use it to stream media content onto your TV via the rear HDMI port and the SPDIF output (if you need it). Beware that in our case at startup the screen showed the Thecus logo and then lots of static which were replaced with the main XBMC menu once the NAS finished loading so don't worry if the same happens to you.

Once again we used our mkv rip of Pacific Rim (almost 30GB) and although it did play ok at first later on we did encounter several audio/video synchronization issues so it's quite evident that the N2560 at least right now can't be used with very heavy bitrate media files (perhaps with firmware tweaks things may change).
