JC - Where's the Boxee Rep. located to post the Navi-X link into?

**judgeschambers** · May 23rd, 2010, 09:07 AM

Got to My Apps

Now look to the left and make the left hand menu open

At the bottom you will see Repositories..click to open

Now, make the menu open in Repositories and click Add Rep. Now past that URL in

You can click on the app icon and then click Add to My Apps so it will always show up in My Apps.

While you're at it, add Fuzz's The Boxee Repo : http://dir.fuzzthed.com/ as the NaviX app is already listed there and you'll get all of the other third party apps in one shot.

To view the entire list of the third party apps, just visit the main site listing. http://www.fuzzthed.com/repository.php

Thanks JC - got it now

WOW - Boxee keeps getting better and better --- what a huge amount of content!!

This will be a 'cable tv killer' (or should I say this 'is' a catv killer) - the small town I live in has only one ISP and also is the only catv provider - over the same coax cable - the 'over air' availability is non-existent because of the distance and terrain from the broadcasters
I hope the recent FCC ruling that sided with the ISP's doesn't escalate their ability to throttle back bandwidth to those customers using a lot - and of course some of those same customers who may have closed their catv accounts in favor of Boxee and whatever other offerings that crop up in the near future

I know I'll be one of the first Boxee Box customers when it's available

Thanks again for your help -- Boxxee Rocks!!

That's correct, you cannot view the content of our repository via a browser, unless you use Fuzzthed's repo viewer or just type it in in Boxee. You can even launch it live from our repo.

Glad to hear somebody is finally diving into the app. I agree, why download if you can stream fine. Have fun!

Looks really schweet iRoNBiLL...thanks! The navigation via remote takes a bit of get'n used to but so far all the content I've tried has worked...that's a big +.
And nothing against FTD's "Apple Trailers" app but I like the Navi-X one better...easier to see/choose via a list than a slider.

Just to let everyone know... I'm not the one to thank for Navi-X. I mean I did help quite a bit, but it is a community efforts and due particularly to a "few good men" with some uber-coding skills, the boxee version is now available.

I'm just happy to help connect the dots and just get to the destination! As for Apple Movie Trailers... I don't know what FTD's is like, but I definitely like checking out trailers every so often for upcoming releases.

I've been checking out a lot of the content in Navi-X but it seems as though more than half of the content I access, it pops up a window that says "This item is not supported because it is a..." - anyone have an idea what's wrong or how to fix this issue

Also - I have a 5Mb download Cable internet connection (Measures 4.8Mbs 99% of the time) - but a lot of the newer movies I try to watch stop to buffer almost every minute or two - Is 5Mbs down not enough BW for this content in Boxee - or is there an adjustment in Boxee to resolve the constant buffering - maybe a way to lower the resolution of the movies??

Two points of improvement that should be tackled asap.

Back Button Issue.
It is not feasible that you have to press four buttons in a specific order, just to get one playlist back and into the browsing process again.

Resume list browsing position, not default to top position.
Whenever you start to play an item and exit with x, the list position will reset to the first item on the page. Worse, Navi-X does that with an inbuild delay (at least on my machine), so that when you are in the browsing process again, skipping through new items, the set back takes place - due to the slight delay on exiting media. No set back would be the best solution, but the current delay is absolutely unacceptable, from a usability pov.
