I fought with boxee for two days straight until i made it run smoothly on ubuntu (video card issues and more). For an alpha it is pretty cool – It has a tidy and functional User Interface, minimum critical bugs and an overall fun feel to it. Plus it adds Avner as your default first friend..And Avner sure does use it a lot, so you get some cool recommendations..

I miss volume control (or is it there and I was too dumb to press the +/- buttons??) and the menu controller that appear on XBMC. I sure am going to follow the evolution of this gizmo. Way to go!

It’s part of the standard user interface! How much easier can it be? I just don’t understand why no one is making a ububtu image with a media center for the PS3…

Not easy? It was easier than jailbreaking an iPhone.

true, but it needs to be easier if you’d like to make it relevant for the common user

A dedicated ubuntu image with autostart for the media center should work. It’s really easy to install a Linux partition on the Ps3

running boxee on PS3 would be great.. but it should be made easy to install

…any chance to make it running on the PS3? Maybe on an installed Linux partition?

[...] Boxee makes your AppleTV better: Hacking the AppleTV to make it ostensibly better has long been an underground hobby of mine. I upgraded my hard drive and tried to add plug-ins but this may be the holy grail of ATV mods. Boxee basically adds full media center capabilities to Steve’s box and turns the old menu into something glorious to behold… Read more on CrunchGear. [...]

Let’s not forget Boxee also runs on OSX and Ubuntu. I have it running on my Mac mini and LOVE it!

@ Avner I would love to try it out if you want to send me an invite. I don’t know if you have it, but it would be fantastic if you had solid eyetv integration built into boxee. I’m very much into the idea of a true mac media center. I have had a form of mac media center for over 10 years now and would love to see a strong media center with social networking done right.

hi joe,

you can enable the mouse by going to Settings->Appearance in boxee.

but the UI is not well designed for a mouse (we had Apple Remote and Keyboard in mind). we’ll improve it in the next release.
