…and, we’re back

UPDATE: there is now a new version of the USB Creator. see here. (you can still go hard-core and do it manually..)

if you have Apple TV running the 2.3 firmware, want to run boxee and are not afraid of opening a terminal, then follow the instructions here: http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?p=13301

so this is a pretty geeky solution. but it works. work is in progress to make it as plug-n-play as before. should be available soon.

this is where we got our inspiration. one of the greatest philosophers of our time. Rocky!

    This is cool but only if you're super geeky and wanna work around the issue. When do we get a FULL fix where you can plug it in and it just works like before?

    @nick Davilla is working on it

    Hell yeah Rocky. Hell yeah Boxee. We got to take the power back.

    I have Boxee installed on my Macmini and I have to use the 'ESC'

    key to move back to the previous screen. This seems kinda stupid.

    Why not have a back icon or arrow? Still kinda buggy.

    I still don't have a password? How do you obtain one?

    Spotify (http://www.spotify.com/) is sooo great! Will be hard to integrate into boxee though.

    @S never got an invite to Spotify.. so i don't know. can you hook me up?
