I think for both PS3 and 360 someone would need to port ffmpeg/xbmc for PowerPC. From what I've read, that's a long way from happening :/

I think grooveshark also does something similar to pandora with their autoplay feature… and i heard your already working with them to get it on Boxee, so awesome

@ Larry I agree with you.

The PS3 is now the best hardware to run Boxee.

we have a long TODO list on both stability, usability and improving the video experience, so Music and Photos are in secondary priority right now (beside Pandora, which i think will be super great on boxee..)

Top of my wishlist for this year to complete my Home Theatre System would be a system based upon the Nvidia Ion (for now) with Linux Boxee (or rumoured new ATV).

Boxee-Ubunutu optimized where Boxee is the front end.

Group based (party) gaming would complete the system.

This looks to be the year where boxee and the right hardware will meet.

First of all, thanks so much for the video!

I agree to focus on improving the stability and performance before anything else! I'm very happy to hear the acknowledgment from Ronen that Boxee is very poor when it comes to recognizing music, (I haven't been getting much responses in the forums or getsatisfaction) so I think before moving on to more features, getting the music function to work should be a priority!

By the way, +1 on the queue idea, or some other way to just turn boxee on and have something ready to watch.

And -1 on the games, I don't see Boxee needing games at all, I mean if I'm in Boxee its because I want to watch something, or listen to music, but games…. nah

Finally, thanks Ronen for slipping the details on March 5th release I'm excited!

That was very informative! Thanks for posting.

While the additional functionality sounds very promising, I would advise focusing primarily on improving the stability and performance of the existing feature set.
