Boxee is great. I can't wait until the ATV version is ready. Hope it is soon.

I would really love to see the support of some European (especially German-speaking) content as already mentioned above by digiradio.

It is really frustrating for us (Swiss in my case) to see all the great content from overseas that we can't use over here.

Until the content you already support will be also available here in Europe (which will take some more time for sure) I hope there will be at least some plugins for Boxee and the ATV to support our own European content. ARD Mediathek, ZDF Mediathek (German Television), SF.TV (Swiss Television) and so on...

I'm running windows Boxee on my htpc and am very excited about what i have seen so far. In terms of internet content, what makes me most happy is that streaming certain shows (The daily show) through Boxee is a lot smoother than streaming from Hulu or Comedy central.
The geo related restrictions are unfortunate, (though I am happy to be located in the US) it would be great to at least get someone like BBC on board to stream internationally.
Cant't wait to see Netflix on the windows version.
Great job over all, keep it up.

Thanks for the straight answer and pointing us in the right direction. Perhaps this is a good enough excuse to get interested in coding, as to provide local content for boxee.

when we launch the beta we'll make sure that if a user does not have access to certain applications/content he will not see it.

as mentioned before boxee is a small team and it is very hard/impossible for us to support content from all countries. we'll need some community help to get there, and this is why we launched developer.boxee.tv

avner ronen — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:58:31 -0000

we have released developer.boxee.tv that should help developers add their own content/apps to boxee.

our team is too small to go after all the different content providers in all countries.. so we'll need the community's help

\o/ Wohooo....

Yet another REGIONAL feature that will only work if you happen to live in the same contry as the Boxee Dev team...

Im starting to have a hard time understanding why Boxee have been released as a international product when the main focus of the product is to develope features that are regional....

Whats the meaning of having a friend in lets say US or UK that are watching a regional video stream...this stream is then forwarded to all of that persons friends (maybe he will even recomend it) however all of the friends that live in another country will not be able to watch the video so why forward that information at all ?_?

The Netherlands + Ubuntu = no love from boxee :(

At least that's the impression I have been getting when it comes to many of the latest updates and announcements. It feels as if the team is taking a very cautious approach when it comes to the Linux port or issues such as international content. And this quite limits boxee's appeal in my opinion.

Are these matters that the team is working actively on or is there a bigger expectation towards input from boxee users? Such as the case with the original XBMC, where a variety of user written plugins popped up catering to international users with local content.

It also makes me slightly worried as to what the potential would be of the previously proposed boxee-box. As it most likely wouldn't include Apple hard- or software we'd be looking at either Windows or Linux, the latter being most likely following the trend of other hardware media devices. Why would someone like me, based in Europe, buy a boxee-box if it's missing a chunk of content, partly because of the limitations when it comes to the included OS and partly because of geographical restrictions?

Perhaps I'm overlooking a lot, I'm just feeling a little Lost here. Pun intended. ;)

Great news! Some more requests: Fora.tv, Charlie Rose, NYTimes video, FoxNews -- any streaming sports.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I understand that the boxee team is limited on man power, and from what i see since the beginning of the project i believe that an "only mac" path is going to emerge more and more. Sadly.

I hope the Boxee Community will be capabale to form various developers groups which will start to create new plug-ins for different languages.

For the German speaking area the focus should be on these contents:

- ZDF Mediathek
- ARD Mediathek
- 3Sat Mediathek
- Phoenix Bibliothek
- SF Videos (Swiss Televison)
- IPTV ORF.at (Austrian Television)
- WDR Mediathek regional
- MDR Mediathek
- RTL Now
- N24 Mediencenter

Each country should have a developers group which is focussing on the prime content for their area.

Good Job! Thanks for your excellent tool! Unfortunately, most of the contents like HULU, CBS and even videos from MTV are only available within the USA. The same will happen with ABC :-(

Please consider also to include ABC NEWS NOW and CBS NEWS VIDEO! These contents are also available outside of the United States. Thank you!

the Move player (used by ABC) is not available on Linux..

Re: boxee blog » boxee gets Lost

avner ronen — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 06:11:11 -0000

looking into it

Re: boxee blog » boxee gets Lost

avner ronen — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 06:09:51 -0000

true, but i think ABC and the international right holders can come to a rev share agreement that will remove the geo-blocking.

as it stands today those losing the most from the geo-block and release windows are the broadcasters and content owners

Netflix on Apple TV is on the TODO list, we just didn't figure it out, yet..

I am wondering the same thing, I hope we get ABC on Ubuntu version of Boxee soon, I have been waiting for that.

I should also point out I'm an XBMC user on the very same platform, and it is rock solid. Being that it is the base which you add your extra plugin codin' on, it's really surprising things aren't much more stable (I'm speaking beyond just the builtin flash player troubles here, things like crashyness).
