Thread: How do I add apps?

    Default How do I add apps?

    On the PC version I have the Giant Bomb app. It's not on the Boxee Box. How do I add new apps to Boxee Box?

    Is this app an official Boxee Repo app or a third party app?

    Update:
    I found it on PC boxee as a Boxee Repo app.
    If it's not on BBox, it's most likely a comparability issue. Many apps had a menu structure that does not work on V1 and needs updated first or it's basically non-functional.

    Hopefully the app owner will update it shortly.

    I would guess that the app hasn't been updated for v1.0 so it's not available on the Boxee Box yet.

    To answer the more general question: MainMenu>>Apps, select an app, then naviate to the favorite/start and select it) This will add official/approved Boxee apps to your Apps>>Favorites screen.

    To add Apps from 3rd party repositories, you have to add the repository first (MainMenu>>Apps>>Repositories, use the + and then enter the URL) then navigate to the newly added repository in the list, select it, and then select/favorite an App from there.
