Hi there

Does anyone know how to add video to your queue direct from your iPhone?

When I find a video, I have to email it to myself, then add it to the queue when I'm next on my desktop, but is there an easier way?

I don't think the bookmarklet works on the iPhone (unless I'm doing it wrong), so is there an alternative way?

Perhaps you can email to your boxee account, but I can't see if that's an option either.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi Espensgr

I think it must be possible, because you can have an Instapaper bookmarklet on the iPhone. It's explained here:

I wonder if someone clever could work out how to do the same for Boxee?

cool!
This sohould be apart of the iphone boxee app then!
The boxee app is now only a remote for boxee, but it could be apart of that to.
I think i have read something about a boxee app that is going to be made, with video functions and stuff.
But there is a problem with the iphone, it does not support flash at this time. And much of the videoes that we are able to add today is flash.
But i think this is a cool feature that the boxee team should look into.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Kinda hard to drag a bookmarklet on an iPhone.

Does the Facebook like option work as a quick way to send links to yourself?

have some usernamehash@boxee.tv address to send things to add to the queue, like radbox do.
