Hi, started using boxee last night but have one major issue. How do I exit the application back and go back to the desktop after watching a show on say hulu? The initial password enter splash has an exit button, but I was unable to find one elsewhere. Hitting escape just rotates me through the menu levels.

System is the 2 GHZ Late 2008 MacBook.

Thanks!

go to the bottom of the main menu, there is an option to exit.

In case of emergency there's always command-Q

I had this same problem my first day. Took me a while to figure it out. On the main menu on left side 'Exit' is hidden. You have to go down with the remote or down arrows on the keyboard. It doesn't work with a mouse, at least not mine.

Also 's' (!) shows the Suspend/Exit screen. But yeah, the mouse is only partially supported - you'll need to stick with the keyboard (arrow keys, escape, enter) if you don't have a remote.

the \ key will minimize the window so it can still run just in a smaller window.

Hmmm, Boxee on my MacBook (running 10.5) never exits. I always have to reboot the machine :(

On the AppleTV it's a little slow but it does work.
