amo Boxee Remote Control for ANDROID RELEASED!!!

[neveroffline]

How do I set it up?

It's automatic; it sets you up. Of course if you want to manually select a Boxee Device, use Settings. Make sure your Boxee is ON and you are local to it via Wireless.

What does this do?
It does a lot of things. For one, it lets you control Boxee remotely, from an Android phone or tablet device when you can see the screen of Boxee on your TV.

Our big number 2 is that it lets you control Boxee without your TV ON-or without you needing to see the screen to select something to play. Thats right your TV can be off, your Boxee On, and your AVR on and you can play.

The big #3 is that it lets you control Navi-X, a very popular Boxee application - without the need for launching it on Boxee (we have that button as well). You may play select formats locally on Android, and of course, all on Boxee as well - you just don't need the Navi-X app on Boxee to do it anymore.

Our big #4 is if you are playing something on Boxee, we aim to provide the metadata for that; then via this. Right now anything scraped by Boxee shows up just fine.

You may now purchase this app in the Android market for a limited time @ $3.99 USD https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

We have discounted the price on the app for a limited time for people on the forum and first adopters. If you had this application before and have not seen this version, at the very least we encourage you to spend 15 minutes with this one.

It has been announced here first. We encourage you all to speak your mind here and tell your friends on twitter using hashtag #amoboxee, or im, etc.

Thank you all for reading and your interest.

Any press inquiries can be directed to press@amo.net.

You may select files from ANY source boxee has in sources. Think Files menu.

@kevin Thanks for the support. I will look into the m3u issue you mentioned later on tonight after football. Just curious though, what is it telling you on clicking an m3u? If you don't already have an app for .pls/m3u on your Android you should grab one.

@outback Where are you having an issue, please be specific? Adult site?

@kevin Thanks for the support. I will look into the m3u issue you mentioned later on tonight after football. Just curious though, what is it telling you on clicking an m3u? If you don't already have an app for .pls/m3u on your Android you should grab one.

It only says "Retrieving:" followed by the path of the .m3u file. That message pops up for 2-3 seconds and then disappears and nothing happens. I'm not sure if my Android can play an .m3u playlist as I don't have any music on my phone. I just got the phone, but don't really plan on using it for music playback. I have an iPod touch for that. I want the .m3u to play on my Boxee Box, not my phone. I want to be able to use amo to control my Boxee Box without having the HDTV on. I'm not looking for audio or video playback on the phone. Sorry if I keep repeating myself, I'm afraid I'm not being clear!

Thanks for taking the time to respond!
