the dev challenge has produced some great apps in each of the categories. this is very exciting. the voting is now open (the polls will close on June 22nd at 11:59pm PT).
winners will be announced at our event in San Francisco on June 23rd (7pm at the Mezzanine). the host for the evening will be Veronica Belmont! for those of you who can’t join us in person there is going to be a live stream of the event courtesy of Justin.tv
Will boxee get a way to organize all the apps in the App Box, it’s starting to be a jumbled up mess. The apps could use better descriptions in the App Store as well.
would boxee consider dropping the social-network-oriented home screen showing recent activity of the boxee user and friends, in favor of a user configurable favorites page? zeevee zinc does that quite well!
I would like that Boxee for Mac will be compatible to watch Steeaming TV on iPhone and iPod Touch and also with Miglia TV. I mean to works as Windows version ( or maybe better!)
I wish that Boxee ran smoother with OS X, and that Apps I didn’t want from “friends” could be more readily removed from my home screen. I also, wish it were just a bit easier to add locations e.g. I really want to add the App for the Hungarian station Papa TV but it doesn’t run in Boxee. That said, I thrive on BBC News Live this is awesome! I doubt that there is a better interface, right now that Boxee for running Cartoons and educational Apps! Who wouldn’t love being a Boxee?
I have been looking forward to the Windoze release and cannot wait to see how well Boxee is adopted into the media community. Though I am disappointed the the OpenPandora team did not enter their app.
I must be a moron because I cannot find 95% of these apps. Maybe it’s because I’m in Canada or maybe its because I’m using the Windows alpha. I will have to reserve my vote until all apps are tested.
I’m right there with ya. I’m on Win Alpha as well, and I check for new apps in the repository every day. The only Video app I recognize is BBC, which doesn’t work. (
A Netflix (Watch Instantly) and Pandora app would be the be-all to end-all for Boxee IMHO (for Windows please).
Oh my fav was the one that allows Boxee to play on WINDOWS…..OH wait thats right they still dont have a windows version out yet.
Been waiting patiently for how long now ??? And you want input ..Fine by me.
My Favorite app is HULU. ^&%*#$ Boxee.
I would love to see:
a) An across-source show directory.
b) Playlist view of DVDs on the hard disk instead of a file system view.
c) A health monitor that restarts boxee when it hangs.
d) Simplier UI (select media type, see playlist, play media)
oh how I wish boxee would incorporate emulators or properly launching an emulator frontend in some way. thats the only thing keeping me from switching.
Do you remember the old picture of the poor kid looking in the window of the bakery shop. Seeing all the delectable goodies but not able to have them?
That is what this is like for many of us Windows users that did not make the Beta cut. Can’t offer any comment because I am not in the “Fortunate Few”. Just hoping the “Windows” version will be solid and out on “Schedule”. Until then I will have to be content with “Hulu”, etc..
What would be great for Americans would be apps and Boxee relationships that help draw content from parts of the world inaccessible on most cable tv systems. Like Al Jazeera English, British, Australian and foreign language TV, whether its Israeli or French or German or whatever. If Boxee just becomes a way to watch YouTube stuff or Revision3 stuff, ehh.
But if Boxee becomes a way to actually break down the cable monopoly by letting people get content they want, then it would be awesome.
I just wanted to give a shout out to all of the developers who put time and energy into creating an app for Boxee. You’re all winners in my eyes. And while that might be a cheesy comment, it’s 100% accurate.
is a video of the SF meetup available anywhere? short of that, I’d love to have a screenshot of the vastly-revised homescreen for the beta version that’s being worked on

IMO any plugin or script that’s simply been ported from XBMC should be disqualified from the dev challenge!
i don’t believe any of the apps was ported.
Will boxee get a way to organize all the apps in the App Box, it’s starting to be a jumbled up mess. The apps could use better descriptions in the App Store as well.
i agree. we will do a major overhaul of the App Store for the beta release
That sounds great!!! Now that you mentioned it, I want me some boxee beta.
anyClip is a really great concept. Couldn’t imagine ANY clip of ANY movie! Two thumbs up!
I love me some pwndcast. All my dreams come to life in the form of… well, it’s a good show.
I’m hoping to guest star someday (I dunno about star, but maybe just get pwnd).
Ok Guys, I would like to test these apps before I vote. Where do I find the repository?
most of the apps (beside AnyClip and The Weather Channel) are available on the default repository
And to get The Weather Channel app, just add the http://dir.unboxeed.com repository to your App Box.
Hulu was my favorite app.
I’m glad to see the app store coming alive. I was really hoping to have a SmugMug photo app… Perhaps it will still come.
Though Google Videos and Dropboxee are great, I had to vote for WatchUWant due to having real innovation. Nice work guys
And I totally meant to say L8R, not WatchUWant. My bad – but nice work too!
OPENCOURSEWARE is really cool one.
Was good and clean
Where can these applications be found/downloaded as I have Boxee for ATV?
you can find them on the App Box (on the left menubar)
would boxee consider dropping the social-network-oriented home screen showing recent activity of the boxee user and friends, in favor of a user configurable favorites page? zeevee zinc does that quite well!
planned for the beta
Why isn’t the TWIT Live application left off?
it was not submitted..
Won’t vote. App choice way too limited, no Mac apps.
My app, BBC Live, is getting updated soon to work fully on Ubuntu, Windows, Mac and Apple TV. Probably today.
The Weather Channel app should work with Mac. Add it by using the repository http://dir.unboxeed.com
Newsbox(ee) definitely works on mac
I would like that Boxee for Mac will be compatible to watch Steeaming TV on iPhone and iPod Touch and also with Miglia TV. I mean to works as Windows version ( or maybe better!)
see below
boxee is a great concept but should be develop further
still buggy but overall its a great software and it looks great
Since I haven’t received my invite for Boxee for Windows, I can not vote!
I would like to vote for TWIT. Thanks
I don’t use any of the listed apps.
I go on Revision 3, BBC iPlayer (XBMC plugin) and not much else.
I wish that Boxee ran smoother with OS X, and that Apps I didn’t want from “friends” could be more readily removed from my home screen. I also, wish it were just a bit easier to add locations e.g. I really want to add the App for the Hungarian station Papa TV but it doesn’t run in Boxee. That said, I thrive on BBC News Live this is awesome! I doubt that there is a better interface, right now that Boxee for running Cartoons and educational Apps! Who wouldn’t love being a Boxee?
this is very good feedback! i hope we can address most of it with out beta release
I have been looking forward to the Windoze release and cannot wait to see how well Boxee is adopted into the media community. Though I am disappointed the the OpenPandora team did not enter their app.

(
A Netflix (Watch Instantly) and Pandora app would be the be-all to end-all for Boxee IMHO (for Windows please).
these apps are not available on Windows. Mac and Linux only.
will all be available on Windows next week.
6 more sleeps. Woohoo!!!!
It doesn’t say that anywhere! Could you add something about that to the post so others don’t waste the time I have looking for these apps??
Right there with ya… can’t see hardly any of these apps in my Boxee app store.
Oh my fav was the one that allows Boxee to play on WINDOWS…..OH wait thats right they still dont have a windows version out yet.
Been waiting patiently for how long now ??? And you want input ..Fine by me.

I didn’t vote for a music app, because I’ve never heard of the ones listed. I was hoping to see Pandora!
there is already a very elaborate implementation of Pandora on boxee (under Music>Internet)
Cool App
Nice Buddy
I was torn between “The Cobra Snake” and “I Can Has Cheezburger?” (I love that site!). Cobra Snake won out in the end.
Do you remember the old picture of the poor kid looking in the window of the bakery shop. Seeing all the delectable goodies but not able to have them?

windows users that
It would be nice to have more PC apps.
What would be great for Americans would be apps and Boxee relationships that help draw content from parts of the world inaccessible on most cable tv systems.

Thanks Joe

Damn comments lol the poster is displayed underneith.
I meant THANKS PHIL
