Boxee Repository
Boxee for Windows still popular
1No wonder I got bandwith issues last time i’ve put up a mirror host of boxee package files for Windows, Linux, Osx. Last week I’ve put up a new mirror on github, within 5 days I’ve got over 350 download for only the windows version. So yes boxee, there are still a lot of users that prefer to run boxee on the PC!

boxee skin for xbmc
0Since the latest 1.x release boxee has lost a lot of love from the community. New design and in general the firmware has not always been stable. In the mean time xbmc has gone huge steps towards a very stable media platform. Just now a new skin has been released giving you the old 0.9 boxee skin look and feel, with the great power of xbmc.

Boxee 1.5
2Boxee finally made it to version 1.5, but wait this release is for pc, osx and linux! After almost a year boxee has finally released another update for the pc version. It brings all the nice feature upgrades from the boxee box to your pc. Think of the new webkit browser and html5 apps. The update has also a completely revamped skin which will be pushed to the boxee box mid januari.
Since this is a new platform I was unable to test all apps for good quality, if you find any issues please send me an email (info

Radio App – Update
4I noticed that the current Tune-in app was working a bit problematic:
- Some streams just do not play
- streams randomly stop
- You can not exit the app and keep your music on
This seems mostly caused by to the fact it is a html/browser app. That is why I decided to make a revamp as native app, consider it still very beta. It still does not offer syncing with your accoutn and some fancy features. But it does play your local streams fine and you can do some other stuf (watch photo’s etc) while listning to your music. You can find it in the main repository under the ‘old’ radio logo.
Happy Holidays!
Some initial screens:
Radio App
0The old Radio app for Dutch users was outdated and podcasts where already moved to the seperate podcast app. Thats why I have decided to take my own radio app offline for now.
At the moment there is a much better alternative in the boxee main repository, that is Tune-In radio (only boxee box). Just use the search key ‘tunein’ in the boxee menu search bar and you will find it. The app has almost all the dutch radiostations incorperated, you can make presenets with an account and ofcourse also foreign stations are supported.
Since it is an html app you can also check it out in your browser:
http://tv.tunein.com
I understand non boxee box users can not find the app as it is html based and the 0.9 firmware still has the old firefox browser. But there is some hot new stuff coming from boxee soon. Firmware 1.5 is due before the end of the year and it has been said that it comes with a client release for osx, windows and linux to! Check-out some early screens:
