**marcel** · May 11th, 2011, 08:03 AM

So it might only be a few decimal points difference from the current 1.0.4 release, but this version of the Boxee Box by D-Link has quite a few new things under the hood. We’ll be rolling this version out over the next few days to all Boxee Boxes, but if you can't wait follow this link to install the version manually.

This version includes New Features / Enhancements such as:

Browser enhancements

Faster Browser Launch
Faster Page Loading Speed.
Improved HTML 5 support.
Added ability to “Favorite” web sites for quick access.
New “Favorites” section in the browser.
New “History” section for browsing previously visited web pages.
New confirmation pop-up when exiting HTML applications (YouTube Leanback, Netflix, etc.).
Support for drop down lists.
Current URL is now displayed in the address bar
Removed auto full screen button for consistency across websites

*NEW* - Trailer Library - added a trailer section to the Boxee movie library.
Enhanced UI look and feel.
Modified look & feel for On Screen Display (OSD).

*NEW* Seek Slider allowing for precise fast forward and rewind.
Reduced OSD size so users see more playing content.
Added Seek ability for Music playback

*NEW* “Share” menu allowing users to select where there message will be shared (Facebook, Twitter, and/or Tumblr).
*NEW* Support for NFO files (see this support entry on how to use.)
Boxee uses IMDB and other sources to identify and tag files. This meant that Boxee could not identify home movies and that correctly identified files were not able to be customized. This new release allows users to:

Tag home movies with custom meta-data and artwork
Update movie metadata with alternate artwork and information
Customize the genres of films, TV shows for better personal categorization
Customize how TV Show Episodes are tagged and displayed in Boxee.

*NEW* Support additional languages and keyboards

German
French
Italian
Spanish
Swedish
Hebrew
Danish
Dutch
Turkish
Russian
Arabic
Portuguese (Brazilian)
Czech
Norwegian
Finnish
Polish

Keyboard shortcuts during playback:

I - Video info
Z - Toggle zoom
Numeric keys - jump to time in video in minutes:seconds

Ability to filter local content by source (USB, Network, SD).
Remote control low battery indication.
Ability to delete browser cache and cookies (Settings -> System -> Browser)
Removed volume control to maintain consistency across playback experience
Without the ability to control volume in HTML 5 apps like Netflix and YouTube Leanback and apps like VUDU we decided to remove the volume control to make the experience consistent across any app, movie, or show on Boxee. Now, volume control is similar to that of a Blu-Ray player or game console where users can control via their TV or A/V receiver.
Added Leave/Stay pop-up when exiting Apps
New MLB application
Watch live and recorded games
Improved ffwd and rewind functionality
Ability to jump to a specific inning or game event
Added pitch f/x statistics overlay
All 2 channels PCM audio is output as DD 5.1 (on Dolby Digital capable receivers)

Enjoy

Awesome, thanks! if this version delivers what it's promising, I'm more than happy!

**stevo81989** · May 11th, 2011, 08:42 AM

A question, is there any diffence in the time in which the ffwd/rwd jumps? For instance, right now it ffwd 30 seconds and rewinds 30 seconds. It would be awesome if instead of 30/30 it could be like 30/7. So if you ffwd too much rewinding wont take you back too far. A lot of DVR's including windows media center have gone to something like this. I just thought it would be nice to see it in Boxee.

Keep up the great work guys!!

How are you going to handle the many different recording levels then? Or do we just have to suffer with that from now on?

The user must handle it through A/VR and/or TV volume controls.

Let's keep all the volume control discussions/posts here: http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=33105 as I'm sure it's a hot button for a lot of people.
