Perhaps I'm just stupid but how do you quit the pandora app??

Also, does anyone else think there is a leak in the pandora app that causes the boxee to be extremely slow even after exiting it?

Since my other post was closed. I'll post here. Resurrecting this feature request!

Sure would be nice to support it. "300 Different Devices" now support it. Somebody make the deal already..

weird. I did a full system restore and then applied the beta firmware. I tried a bunch of different settings (720p, 1080p, 1080px24) and various different video files and I can't get it to match at...

match screen refresh rate to video isn't working in this firmware.

Could we please get an option to restart the boxee vs just shutdown? With the amount of times I have to restart the box due to extreme slowness it's very frustrating to have to keep getting up to...

I've been running the new firmware for awhile now (like everyone else I guess) and have mixed feelings. First, for some reason I don' the audio/video sync issues I was having with the previous...

Any news on this yet?? ;(

Thanks! This week has been chalk full of boxee learning goodness ;)

now, to find that darned touchpad.

Yes I agree. It's nice to not have to rely on my wireless setup. Feel more comfortable with wired.

So the conclusion of all of this testing is that yes indeed nfs is faster that SMB. However,...

Well I learned something odd today. Apparently the boxee at 100mb/s and my synology nas at 1gb/s don't appreciate being on the same device. put them both on a 1gb switch and they get awful...

lol. well i did punch all the wiring myself... but i've tried multiple cables and jacks through the router and on the same switch as my nas. i'm going to keep screwing with it this weekend but...

technically this syno NAS does AFP as well. if i get a request for AFP vs NFS i will do so, else I'm going to ignore it.

Just for fun I created a guest wireless zone and enabled routing inbetween and then re-ran the nfs wireless results

o NFS Open Wireless: not as bad as I thought it would be, but...

Here ya go. for comedic purposes. i first tested SMB wireless, then NFS wireless, then NFS wired.

Thanks for the suggestion on the test files. I haven't seen those. I will give them a try both ways.

I have a synology NAS which does both NFS and SMB. Is there a recommendation for streaming? I was looking at the network shares sticky and didn't see anything concrete there.

Thanks

yeah, it's nuked. i was looking at google tv spotlight vs the web browser. on the pc you can actually click the play link, on the boxee box, the link is not a link..

appears that there is some...

I keep checking back to see if there is an app for Amazon VOD. I'm already a prime member of course. So dumb that my shitty old samsung InternetTV app can link to VOD and the boxee still can't.

My Boxee has been acting up I think since the last GA firmware update. I haven't tried any of the RC code as of yet. Basically it's slow to respond to the remote and playback also has issues. I...

New version is buggy on my end. Has locked up twice trying to play sd shows and garbled up SLC Punk something fierce.

"Meh" there are big and small companies on the compatibility list for Amazon VOD. I understand loyalty and fanboyism but unless Boxee can get their shit together from a business perspective,...

Why? If this is your business model, you'd think that they'd have a process to facilitate easy addition of content providers. Just seems weird.

sigh. the browser does work. but it's a PITA and POS.

that and Charter EPIX doesn't work worth of shit either. you'd figure Team Boxee would be clamoring to support any content that is provided...

That's a good idea. I'll give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
