XBMC add-ons for boxee box

[ploogak]

I recently read this article listing some cool new XBMC addons. Is it possible to get these for Boxee Box as well (hardware, not software installed on a 3rd party box).

Here is another list of addons.

Specifically, I'd love to get the Hulu app and Grooveshark app.

The Boxee Box can only do apps in a repository as far as I know. (In the software version it is sometimes possible to get XBMC add-ons / modifications to work but it's not all that common as Boxee has gone off in a different direction when it comes to add-ons/plug-ins/apps).

The XBMC Hulu add-on wouldn't do you any good because Hulu detects that you're trying to access from the Boxee Box and blocks you.

There are rumors of a Grooveshark app coming for the Boxee Box but in the meantime, it should be possible to use the Grooveshark website via the Boxee Browser.

Yes, running XBMC on the Boxee Box would be ideal, but it doesn't appear possible yet given the searching I've done. If apple TV can be hacked, I'm sure the Boxee Box can be too...

It is not possible to run XBMC addons within Boxee due to the vast amount of code changes done internally since Boxee was originally forked.

In Navi-X you can search Grooveshark and play tracks one at a time from those found and listed, but it's not much of a replacement for the real Grooveshark interface - which can of course be accessed from the Boxee Box browser without an app.
