Hi all,
Firstly Boxee rocks, got it on my Apple TV and works amazingly.. love the way it recognises all my media, and correctly puts it in the right places, although i had an issue with Fringe, kept telling me it's a move as opposed to a TV show..
Anyway a few thoughts..
1) Adding sources, cool feature but using the Keypad to enter an IP address is a long process since you can only get to the [.] via the symbol key, i would love to see the [.] on either side of the 0 on the numeric pad.
2) Torrents, very handy feature, i love the way it looks on screen, simple yet very effective, although more controls should be added via the settings:
- seed ratio
- trash torrent file
This will be a great addition to anyone whose bandwidth is capped or leave downloads overnight
another thing i notice that deleting from the downloads section deletes the actual file as opposed to just the torrent file, i think this should be made clearer aswell as the option to delete just the torrent file.
i believe the client that runs the downloads is rtorrent, i was wondering if there was or is any command line controls for it. If not it would be a great addition, i know with atvtorrents, there was the option of screen rtorrent, which was great to monitor how downloads where going while at work.
3) File manager - not sure if this is already there and i just couldn't find it. If not i think this is a must. File manager to allow files to be moved within folders, move/cut files from downloads folder etc..
have only used it for a few hours last night and it has amazing potential.. keep up the good work team
sorry for the long post,
Zim
