Was thinking the same thing, I might have a shot at porting over XBMC, although I daresay someone else has beat me to it. Anyone got anything to share so far?
On more playing around, it sure does crash a lot. Might be trying the official RC2 for Frodo rather than the nightly. Wondering if the crashes are because it needs root for something?
I got xbmc working with upnp as well over our network. The only time it crashed was while renaming a source. Haven't taken the time to fully watch a full video yet, but I'll report back when we do.
Oh and I'm using rc3.

Now all I really need is Netflix and my OUYA is a good enough media center for our household. :) AWAY!!!
Really curious to see how Netflix will look and work.

I can confirm that Netflix does run on the Ouya. I haven't tested it much, but it played a movie just fine. The UI seems a bit sluggish. This might be due to the fact that it cannot be navigated by the buttons/d-pad. You have to use the touchpad or a mouse. And the UI doesn't look like it's formated for a television.
I suggest just downloading the Standard XBMC Android APK package off the net if there is one, see if it works, and just write down all the 'bugs' we need to fix to get it working on OUYA. I'm guessing XBMC will work out-of-the-box.
PlayOn works on Android so long as Flash is installed as well. No installation required (besides for having a licensed PC running the OnPlay software): just open a browser and go to: m.playon.tv
* correction * http://XBMC.org it seems has just started including this in their normal build as of RC3 (last night's stable release) check their website or use the latest nightly build here:
yes. the onscreen keyboard works (its the standard XBMC one - not an android one) with the mouse pad, but after about 20 seconds it will FC the program.
Can't find aapt.exe? Temp fix: Copy another one from 'android_sdk/build-tools/17.0.0' back to your 'platform-tools' -=Hicsy=- PM meFacebook
That would be a simple fix but TBH if Jules said that XBMC were going to make an copy for OUYA so i daresay they will fix this soon - not to mention a LOT of general android users will complain very soon about not being able to use custom KB's. I would fix it myself but I really have to start with my own app, I'll edit it next week if no-one already has

Yeah full videos work fine. I'm new to xmbc but how do I get it to recognize other file types other than AVIs? I could find it myself, just sometimes it is easier just to ask.

We just kept the same setup we had for Windows Media Center for the Xbox. We ran media sharing through Windows Media Player.

Well scratch that - PlayOn does not work on Ouya so far. Edit: It does not see my PC on the same network. I can now see the PlayOn server, however no flash plugin is detected for browser, so it does not work yet. It works on my Android Phone so the problem is not on the server/PC side.

Success, thanks to @MagicGameStore link on the thread for browser plugins. I ran the software install from the Downloads Screen and now flash runs great for PlayOn Media Server.

I can confirm VLC works like a charm. nightlies.videolan.org/build/armv7-android-tegra2/
Though without a 10 foot UI and limited streaming options it is not as interesting as XBMC.

Without redoing it yourself, the closest pre-made one is here (Tegra 2):

Are you experiencing the same crashes during onscreen keyboard use that GodlyPerfection and myself are? Try adding a network source.
