Yeah, very cool stuff! Thank you.

I'm still having trouble connecting to my XP desktop from my MBP over and SMB wireless network. I'll keep trying.

Very nice - have it up and running on my 10" Lenovo Hackintosh controling Boxee beta on my appleTV.

Only bug/other thing i can comment upon as i discovered last night - when trying to exit Boxee using the keyboard Dpad & Enter - Boxee on the atv hung during the exit process requiring a power cord pull.

The only thing I can think of is the windows firewall is blocking port 8800.

I think that might be a boxee bug, the remote just issues the command to hit the enter key equivalent via the webserver. My boxee running on a mac mini will hang as well from time to time. There is a shutdown command in the api, i might try that and see if there is any difference.

is it possible for this to work with the boxee box?

Yes this works with the Boxee Box, I installed this tonight, and it is working great.

This is an awesome widget, anyone that watches tv while on their laptop should try this out. I love being able to control my boxee from my laptop keyboard instead of reaching for the remote when I'm in the middle of working on something.

Thank you for developing this great app.

JUST an FYI using the boxee widget will crash the newest version of boxee (1.5.0.23267). I opened a ticket with boxee support on jira. But I wanted to let everyone know. It has something to do with the web api.
