I would like to request a feature change so that the playback does not stop when you exit Justin.TV that way we can browse around boxee without it stopping the stream?

-- Thanks for your hard work in making this app rock, now if i could only peel myself away to actually go to work that would be great.

How hard would it be to add the only "live channels" ?

would we have to remove the Justin Tv app we have now?

any chance on livestream or Ustream app?

I love the Justin.tv app, but I am having one small problem. When viewing any video, the bottom 40 or so pixels is cut off. It's usually not a problem, but sometimes it cuts off subtitles and info. No other boxee videos have this problem, and the Justin.tv apps UI takes up the whole screen, but when I start a justin stream, the bottom 40 or so rows are gone. It even cuts off the advertising at the bottom. I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, so I wanted to let you know it was happening.

I am running boxee 0.9.21.11487 and whatever version justin.tv app comes with that. Windows XP SP3 connected to a 720P HDTV via HDMI (It occurs through VGA hookup as well.)

Hi everybody!

Justin.tv app is IMHO one of the most valueble Boxee apps - tons of interesting live content and some is in very good quality! I enjoy the app a lot, it is _very_ usefull, actually it is probably the primary reason why I'm using Boxee.

Unfortunately, I see a couple of non-critical but annoying issues with the app.

1) Channel thumbnails scrolling isn't smooth, it is page-based (probably to speed up the thumbnail loading process), once the end of the page is reached and "Down" button on control is pressed next page starts loading. This is not a problem in itself, problem is that after next page is loaded the selection (focus, cursor - how should I call it?) jumps back to the first page. Now I need to scroll back to the second page - this time it'll be smooth because it is already loaded. After going to the third page selection will once again go back to the first page and now I'll need to scroll two pages of thumbnails in order to get to the point where I left etc. This happens each time each subsequent page is first loaded and it is _EXTREMELY_ annoying, especially if the list is long. I strongly believe that after switching to the next page selection should be positioned in the first row of this next page, exactly below its position in a row on the previous page.

2) Thumbnails refreshes are very infrequent (hours?), usually they don't correspond at all to the current channel content. It _looks_ like they are refreshing each time page is loaded (it freezes for a couple of seconds, shows the loading screen) but thumbnails are not changing. May be Boxee caches them somehow, something changed in the last versions? I'm using the latest beta.

Also a couple of feature requests: search (it is a pain to type with a remote, still it is a very usefull feature sometimes) and managing of favorite channels.

I noticed today that the app has been refreshed, however I still have some of the nagging issues, bottom of the screen cut out, scrolling from one page to another needs to refresh and it sends you to the first page all the time. Please fix these little issues, this application is great! I can watch a lot of games in Boxee though this app!
Thanks!

I agree with Rulo that is is a good app. It will become a great app once scrolling is fixed and the black bar at the bottom is removed. I do appreciate the fact that the app is free.
Thanks.

Is it not yet available in the Boxee Box? Hmmm, this is bad...

I couldn't find an app but it does work through the browser...my guess is it will be coming soon as an app.
