Problem with newest beta-IndimoviesOnline missing movies in Boxee

**JipsonColors** · September 5th, 2010, 10:03 AM

So, I downloaded the newest beta to check out all of the new movie feeds, but something is happening that I can't figure out. I went on my web browser to http://www.indiemoviesonline.com/ and saw a movie that I wanted to watch called "Cherry Crush." So, I went to boxee and that movie does not show up anywhere. In fact, I noticed that none of the movies with "18" stamps show up anywhere. I went into settings and unchecked the option to hide "adult" movies thinking it might be an adult movie issue, but no matter what, none of those movies show up.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get all the movies to show up?

Movies have to be available via one of the indexed suppliers: Hulu, Netflix, EZTakes, Indimovies, Mubi, Youtube etc.

The "18" stamps on Indimovies? I see now that to play those movies on their site you must manually confirm you are over 18 in the browser link. Currently there is no way to do that in boxee's video player. So that is most likely why those movies are not indexed.

Not sure what the problem is - but Boxee is just not indexing this movie

Indie Movies is available in Boxee's "App Library" - but clicking on "All" movies and clicking on "Alphabetical" does not bring up Cherry Crush (nor does any other type of search) - even though it shows on the IM's home page under "Latest Free Movies"

And of course it's now showing up in the Movies/Movie Library either

Looks like you have a good explaination for the issue JC

Well, upon looking even closer...you have to simply "start" the movie to confirm your age. Hmmmm, so in theory, it should play in Boxee. So why can't it show in the indexing then?

Marceeeeeeel, what do you say?

You know, they aught to make the Boxee bookmarklet work on this site. That would sort fix it for now.

Yea, I don't get it. There are a TON of movies not being indexed.

In addition, what is with boxee and your search options???? Your only two options are:

RECENTLY ADDED (which only shows 200 movies)
MOST POPULAR (which only shows 200 movies)

So, unless you first go to the website and find a movie you want to watch and then search for it, you are SOL. Why is there no option for ALL MOVIES?

Regardless, I'm glad Boxee is adding this to their system, but it's pretty much unusable right now since so many movies just don't show up. 3 movies I wanted to watch that I saw on the site I went downstairs to watch them on the TV via Boxee and all three of them were just no where to be found...

Oh well... Hopefully Boxee will improve more later....

Those are the two default SORT options, as indicated by the word SORT above them

As far as I know, search works well beyond the two hundred default displayed items listed under either sort option. (For example, 'When the Last Sword is Drawn' can be found via Search but I don't believe it's listed under either sort option).

However, Boxee may still need to fine tune their online indexing for the sources currently supported.

I think I explained my issue wrong.

There is no other way to browse the selection other than by top 200 most popular, or to 200 recently added. Beyond that, you HAVE to know the name of the movie and search for it.

That = lame.

We should be able to browse all movies and find stuff we wouldn't know to search for.

**darcilicious** · September 5th, 2010, 02:24 PM

You can also "browse" by genre, many (most? all?) of which have less than 200 results.

I'm not sure what the deal is with "200" -- it's the same case for the TV Show Library...
