Boxee for iPad & Spotify update

by

We released Boxee for iPad version 1.2 into the iTunes app store today.
Here’s a run down of the standout new features in the app.


If you look to the lower right hand corner of this screenshot you’ll see the new remote control for video you’ve sent to a Boxee Box from your iPad.

If you’re sending stuff to your Boxee Box, you’ll also notice that it picks up where you left off for any local files played through the Boxee Media Manager.

For people with bandwidth issues, we’ve also added the option to select the video quality when you’re streaming files, so if you’ve got a spotty WiFi connection you can drop the video quality for more consistent streaming.

Head over to the iTunes store page for the free download.

SPOTIFY UPDATE: We’ve got some good news for Spotify fans.  If you’re a Premium Spotify user, you can now use Spotify anywhere in the world on Boxee. Previously the app was only available for use in countries where Spotify had launched.

    Could you maybe, just maybe, tell the one guy (you know, the half blind limp dude down in the darkest corner of the cellar working on the 14" monochrome CRT attached to a Pentium 133) to speed up the PC release development?
    Please… pretty please!

    Android version would be much appreciated.

  16. Annoying that you have still not included a search function in the spotify/boxee build. This annoyance is on a par with apple tv not featuring the iPlayer or more to the point, allowing the iPlayer to run on the iPad /osx and not enable the visual streaming connection over AirPlay.

    its simple things that users appreciate not the UI changes or the additional features but the simple things that really are kind of expected.
