I have an idea for an application and was wondering if a few things are possible.

1.) Can Boxee be setup to only display certain "channels" on the dashboard based on a login? Example would be if I create my own video content (training videos) and only certain users can see the "training video channel". I would only want Boxee to display my channels and not the Hulu and other feeds.

2.) What resolution video is best for video playback fullscreen with Boxee?

3.) How would I find a developer to create a modified dashboard for my needs?


Sorry if this is such a n00b post. I have ideas for how I want to use Boxee to distribute my videos to customers and just want to make sure it can all be done.

I am also new, somewhat, and don't know how to develop but am pretty versed in multimedia and video. I'm sorry if this is completely the wrong idea you're looking to go but I think it would be faster and less buggy to just develop a web page into the interface you want with your videos there. I HAVE seen computers in public spaces that lock the browser to just the navigation through a webpage, disabling the ability to manually type another web address (but it was such a long time ago, I may have mistaken how it worked). The web page could also run locally so that there is no web access but still have access to the videos locally or possibly networked just within an intranet. just food for thought.
