There are other ways of accessing internal Boxee files, assuming that you have installed the Boxee+Hacks package.
That's what point #1 in those descriptions refers to.

Once you have Boxee+Hacks...

It does make some sense, though it might not be the final solution you're looking for.
With a setup like that you should be able to use that BoxeeBox for any of the connected TV sets, that much is...

When you say something like " My repository isn't working.. " you also have to specify exactly which repository you're talking about. And for useful help you also need to add other relevant details,...

No. The current Boxee+Hacks implementation only supports a single fanart image per show.

Like darcilicious said, it's fully optional which of those formats you use. You can even 'mix and match' if that's more convenient for you, though I myself prefer to use normal spacing throughout....

Perhaps not, but this result also proves what I said about how it wasn't the MKV format as such that caused the problem, because if that format was badly implemented you'd never get those videos to...

If the Boxee+ logo is not visible at any time, that's a clear indication that your installation failed, at least partially.
Another way to check it is to open the Boxee settings menu (the one with...

I don't think the problem is with the MKV file format as such, since that's just a container. Like other container formats such as AVI it can hold different kinds of content, and it's the format of...

That's very true, and there's also the risk of signal collisions if many others nearby also use wifi for unrelated LANs.

There's a limited number of channels available, and with a lot of users in...

No, not when you're running so old a firmware.
Boxeeplus was created and debugged only for Boxee firmware 1.5.1, which is HUGELY different from the old one you use.

If you wish to use Boxeeplus...

No. It works for me.
But there may of course be some undebugged problems in how fanart is recognized.
Sometimes I've had to step through the movies using the new "Carousel" display mode, in order...

I'm glad I could help you! :)

This issue has been quite troublesome in the past, as those that never get this download problem during their installs usually remain unaware that this possibility...

The name "Boxee" no longer serves to identify even the type of hardware you bought, nor its software abilities.
You need to specify whether you bought the "BoxeeBox" (old product) or the "Boxee TV"...

Those are things to doublecheck after an install attempt without proper end result, agreed.

But it's possible that he's already done this, and still doesn't get the Boxee+ modifications activated....

Manual editing is one way to do it, but it's probably better to add it with Ember, like Wolfie described.

I also suggest that you consider his clarification of the suggestion I made earlier, of...

If the SMB server of a BoxeeBox is active then both those operations can also be done from a computer in the same LAN, without moving the HDD.

I have a 1TB Iomega drive connected to my BoxeeBox,...

Yes. Just make sure that you have no ID tags in the NFO file, and that the title you use for the movies is slightly different (adding a substring like " 3D" should suffice). Since the titles differ...

I agree that it's only a matter of time, and that goes regardless of their staying in business or not.
Sooner or later they're bound to close down a server that's not generating any income at all......

I'm not sure, but it's possible that they simply won't sell the stuff outside of the US. I've run into the same problem many times with US companies, since I'm in Sweden. Everything looks normal when...

Lots of things still work even without server connection, or any Internet connection.

LAN access to local fileshares should be completely unaffected, as well as access to local USB drives.

You...

Unfortunately most online databases deal almost exclusively with entertainment media, completely ignoring most of the documentary releases. And this makes it impossible for the BoxeeBox to...

That depends entirely on how the BoxeeBox identifies those drives for use in its Linux filesystem.
And there is NO generic folder structure to allow playlist files on one drive to access media files...

There's really not much difference in using 2 BoxeeBox units as compared to using one.
Each of them works completely independently of the other, which is both good and bad.

It's good in that any...

Same here.

To me the aggregated media lists are the main point of using a BoxeeBox, rather than any one of a multitude of cheaper SMB or DLNA browsing boxes. I've used such too, and it's pure hell...

Essentially there are two methods (with variations):

1: Add NFO files for content which has been misidentified or unidentified. This can be done by 'manual' NFO file editing or by use of special...
