iTheater RC1 is available

As promised, iTheater RC1 was released today. I only played with it briefly this morning, but I can see where they're going with it.

At first launch, iTheater takes over the screen as does FrontRow. You use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus, and other key combinations manage video playback (these are included in the Read Me file). I had no problem finding and playing the videos I was after. Navigating my music library worked as well, though I had a hard time getting tracks to play. I don't have a Mac with a remote, so I was unable to try that out.

The weather feature is a nice idea, a feature similar to MythTV (as of RC1 you can't specify your location, but it's still pretty cool). It's a good early release and I look forward to RC2. iTheater is an open source project released under the GPL.Try it out and send them some feedback.
