Hi,

in Boxee wiki (http://wiki.boxee.tv/App_Box ) , it says user can add new Repositories.

But I was not able to find Repositories settings in my Boxee (on ubuntu). I tried to look under "Settings -> Applications" but couldn't find it. (there is no "App Box" in my Boxee).

I also would like to add the sample app Thru-App, but couldn't find it via Boxee. I am wondering if I missed something .

thanks.

your using an older version of boxee. sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade boxee

then youll have the appbox

Then once you do the above you can simply go to App Box -> Repositories -> Add Repository. To get you started, here are some known repositories:

I did "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade boxee" , but i still don't have Appbox in boxee.

how can I check the version number of the boxee in my Ubuntu ?

thanks.

I found the version of my boxee:

0.9.7.4826M

I am wondering why it was not upgraded to the latest version even after I did "sudo apt-get upgrade boxee " ?

thanks

Found the problem. Used "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade boxee" and now it is working :)
