Now, volume control is similar to that of a Blu-Ray player or game console where users can control via their TV or A/V receiver. Without the ability to control volume in HTML 5 apps like Netflix and YouTube Leanback and apps like VUDU we decided to remove the volume control to make the experience consistent across any app, movie, or show on Boxee. Removed volume control to maintain consistency across playback experience.Ability to delete browser cache and cookies (Settings -> System -> Browser).Ability to filter local content by source (USB, Network, SD).Numeric keys – jump to time in video in minutes:seconds.*NEW* Support additional languages and keyboards.Customize how TV Show Episodes are tagged and displayed in Boxee.Customize the genres of films, TV shows for better personal categorization.Update movie metadata with alternate artwork and information.Tag home movies with custom meta-data and artwork.This meant that Boxee could not identify home movies and that correctly identified files were not able to be customized. *NEW* Support for NFO files (see this support entry on how to use.)īoxee uses IMDB and other sources to identify and tag files.*NEW* “Share” menu allowing users to select where there message will be shared (Facebook, Twitter, and/or Tumblr).Reduced OSD size so users see more playing content.*NEW* Seek Slider allowing for precise fast forward and rewind.Modified look & feel for On Screen Display (OSD).*NEW* – Trailer Library – added a trailer section to the Boxee movie library.Removed auto full screen button for consistency across websites.Current URL is now displayed in the address bar.New confirmation pop-up when exiting HTML applications (YouTube Leanback, Netflix, etc.).New “History” section for browsing previously visited web pages.New “Favorites” section in the browser.Added ability to “Favorite” web sites for quick access.UPDATE – I am being told that the HD Audio dropouts have actually not been fixed and instead have been added as an open issue for future firmware updates (maybe Boxee should take a closer look at their Release Notes before releasing…) For now here is a list of what has been added/fixed (you can see the full Boxee blog post here): I plan on testing when I get some time, and if all is good will update my review. Well, with today’s update it appears that HD Audio dropouts have been fixed (I have no confirmed yet, just going based off the release notes). Much has changed since my original review so I have been planning on doing a quick update but have been waiting for some critical issues in my opinion to be fixed (such as HD Audio dropouts). Since then there have been many fixes/updates (such as the addition of Netflix and Vudu) that have made the Boxee Box a more viable option in the media player world. A while back I put together a review of the Boxee Box.
