Boxee stopped starting up

[verbal1714]

Boxee 0.9.20.10708 was working fine on my 10.5.8 setup when it hung during the facebook app and I had to force close (I may have been playing around with FrontRow at the same time). After that I have not been able to start it back up, despite numerous cleanups, permission repairs and re-installs. Interestingly I don't see the Boxee dir under ~/Library/Application Support (I see a bunch of others though and I made sure to set AppleShowAllFiles to TRUE). I think I may have enabled the Infrared helper option somehow by launching FrontRow (even though re-installing should have reset this). Is there a certain plist file where I can disable the remote option (since I can't do this via the Boxee application settings anymore)? I don't have the infrared remote, I was using the iphone app which works great.

Here are the log and crash details:

Please try and remove the Boxee.app under ~/Library/Application and then try and install Boxee again

[verbal1714]

Looks like the problem was somethign with starting Boxee at login. After disabling the option to launch boxee at startup (from Boxee settings), I re-installed again and it worked fine.

Thanks
