Looking for customer UI for movie playback only

Oops, can't edit the title.

Looking for CUSTOM UI for movie playback only.


I'm setting up my brother with a HD200 for movie playback and I'm wondering if it is worth it to buy SageTV media center for the specific purpose of a better UI for playing back his DVD collection. Right now the plan is to just use the HD200 in standalone mode.

Is there a custom UI that is designed around movie playback only? He won't be using SageTV for PVR duties since he isn't great with computers. He's building an awesome home theater and it would be a shame to have to run the standalone UI because it's rather plain looking. Fan art, IMBD search, etc would be great.

I'd be tempted to take a look at http://www.boxee.tv/box ...... never used it myself but if the D-Link box comes out I guess that'll do everything your brother would want.

Cheers

Ben

Shouldn't be that hard to roll your own movie-centric UI by customizing the main menu, either in SageMC, or in the stock UI with the Customizable Main Menu plugin.
