The "Friends" Feature

**XTender** · November 15th, 2010, 03:45 AM

I'am just currious why the "Friends" section on BB does'nt work for me.
As far as I understand this feature it have to show Videos that was posted on facebook? (e.g.)
But when I choose it it tells me that i have to connect it via the Services section on the website.
Well, that's what I've done but still no content.
Did the Friends have to use Boxee too?

Please make sure you have went through the steps in http://boxee.zendesk.com/entries/323078-settings-social
please keep in mind that this is an action driven service, meaning that whatever is currently posted will not show, only when you facebook friends will have a new post it will be available in the friends sections (it will take a few min to sync)

what I find most confusing about the Friends feature in relation to facebook is why doesn't it show the videos that should be the most relevant to me, i.e. videos friends post on my wall. Right now, it only shows videos posted on everyone's wall but mine. Kinda silly.

My Twitter feeds are working fine, but my Facebook never updates, and there are a bunch of videos that have been posted. Tried removing and re-adding my FB account (including removing the Boxee FB application), and still nothing is coming through.

I have the same issue. I went on the website to tie my account, but I guess I haven't done it physically on the box. I will check it later today. But it does seem cumbersome.

Just tried it. I have them clicked but no videos in my "friends" tab.

Only newly added/posted/shared videos will show up once you have activated the service.

I have it enabled since boxee 0.9 and never seen anything. Set it up before I got the boxee box (got it last thursday).

This isn't working for me either. I've had facebook and twitter set up since the 11th. Not a single thing coming through even though there's been a lot of things posted. I tried reconnecting via the boxee.tv/services. Tried unchecking and rechecking the services on the settings on the box, and even a hard reboot. Still nothing.
