Rivet 1.0 streams media to Xbox 360

Rivet 1.0 has been released, enabling users to stream video, music, and photos from Mac OS X to an Xbox 360 over a home network. Rivet allows users to quickly browse and view their entire collection of digital media from from anywhere in the house on their Xbox 360. The Mac OS X folder structure and organization is completely reproduced to allow you to quickly find the appropriate media. Features include: Music streaming of your iTunes library; Photo streaming of your iPhoto library and user defined folders; Video streaming from user defines folders; Full organization support, your mac is recreated on the Xbox 360 and quick automatic updating on the Xbox 360 when files are added, deleted, or moved. The tool requires Mac OS X v10.5 or later, uses iTunes for music sharing and requires a networked Xbox 360. Rivet is priced at $19.

Looks exactly the same. I have been using Connect360 for months now and love it. It is &1.05 more....

I think Connect360 doesn't support folder structures. It just dumps everything at one level. Makes it pretty useless really.

Hope Rivet works. It might give me the incentive to upgrade to Leopard.

After looking at some screen shots of Rivet I think I can safely say that it's a rip off of Connect360 -OR- Nullriver (the makers of Connect360) have decided to launch Rivet as a new product under a different company name to get around their free updates for life offer on Connect360. Hmmm. Anyone know anymore about this?
