Make a setting that allows you to Auto force aspect ratio videos that are 4:3 to 16:9.

easy peasy to include this bin which might be helpful to others

• Scrapping movie and TV data
• Homepage videos (In progress of being switched to local new videos added)
• Login option (Possibly skip trying to contact Boxee's servers and just do a local login)
• Sharing Function (Either disable this feature or run it through some other servers?)
• Friends (Disable, or run it through some other server?)
• Watch Later (I'm not sure if this depends on Boxee's servers?)
• Show Library (Replacement server - Somebody will need to manage online TV show's)

Please add to the list anything I might be forgetting.

If playing a HSBS or OU movie it would be very nice if boxee automatically switches to its special HSBS or OU 3D mode. See if this is possible...

Please update the flash-player inside the browser.
When visiting sites as for instance gametrailers.com - you are prompted with a message:

"Flash upgrade required - please visit get.adobe.com/flashplayer for the latest version".

Please add an update script that we can launch from telnet until the settings/boxeehack version works.

The added fanart function is awesome. What would be even more awesome is if the boxee box could download the fanart files automatically.
Several reasons for this, among others:
You might run an application on your computer to download fanart for your entire library once, but what happens when you add new shows and movies? You're probably not going to rescan and redownload every time?

Also the applications I've tried all try to identify my media, not only wasting time by performing a job already done by the boxee box but sometimes failing or misidentifying (sure, the box isn't perfect in this area but at least the fanart will match the media identity on the box)

I now bake in all overlays for this, but would be extra cool to just have in the skin based on the movie genre field...

Is it possible to remove the pan and zoom effects on photos displayed in the screensaver? It would be good if the settings applied to the slideshow were mirrored in the screensaver.

Figure out if it's possible to e.g. add Album Artist sort, or Year sort in Album view, or add date sort to tv show view.

In the homescreen THE my music is translated in dutch to mijn muzi...
It cuts of THE last two letters. It would also be more compliant with THE other categories if there were no "my" in front.

No major issue of course ;)

I'm not sure if this is just me, but I'm getting and unexpected error when trying to launch the browser.

My wife always asks what the latest shows we have are I always go to shows then sort by recently added. But if you database gets hosed the recently added sorting gets borked, as one would expect it to. It would be nice to be able to go to files and sort it by filedate. This would also be useful for photos because different cameras have different file naming schemes.

The idea would be to go into overview mode instead of "all seasons" mode. We would need to add a play last unplayed episode type of button though, with some info on that episode, to make it more similar to the movie details view (make it actionable).

If it's possible add the "Audio output device", to be able to set an Airport Express device as output audio device.

like in the default settings window of XBMC :
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Settings/System#Audio_output

This is a feature request / enhancement request.

If possible, it would be nice to have the box sort by custom genres as defined in user-generated .nfo files. By default, Boxee has a limited array of standard genres, according to this URL:

"The genres tag can include only the supported descriptors, they should be separated be space and
comma. “,”."

Genre List: ACTION, ADVENTURE, ANIMATION, COMEDY, CRIME, DOCUMENTARY, DRAMA,
FAMILY, FANTASY, FILM_NOIR, HISTORY, MUSIC, MUSICAL, MYSTERY, NEWS, ROMANCE,
SCI_FI, SHORT, SPORT, THRILLER, WAR, WESTERN

"Western?," "War?," "Sport?," these are not applicable Genres in my universe.

The ability to add "FOREIGN," "INDIE" and other user-defined genres would be wonderful. Thanks for considering it.

Hey,

Any chance of muting the boot (start-up video) sound?

Really tired of it and muting my TV every time gets old.

Thanks,

Will

Either make it accessible as a fullscreen thing somewhere? Or maybe lighten the background. Though shouldn't impact readability of the text on the page.

Also look into what we can do to add it to the other views on the episodesview (without uglifying it ;) )

Like my Movies, I have all of my TV shows in individual folders, but I don't group episodes in seasons folders. I use Ember Media Manager for metadata and images. Here are the contents of a typical show:

Folder name:
Hammer House of Horror

Contents of folder:
fanart.jpg
folder.jpg
Hammer House of Horror.S01E02.SDDVD.mpg
Hammer House of Horror.S01E02.SDDVD.nfo
Hammer House of Horror.S01E02.SDDVD.tbn
tvshow.nfo

As it was explained to me, without episodes in individual seasons folders, fanart won't get displayed on the Overview tab. I'd love to see a solution for this.

Also, now that there's a separate BOXEEHACK option screen in Settings, I'd love to see an option to display TV Show fanart on the All Seasons and Individual Seasons screens. While I'm not really interested in season specific fanart, if you enabled this request, I'm sure some folks would love to see that implemented as well.

Thanks for you hard work!

Current airplay support is unstable. Audio controls tend to freeze if you try to navigate too much. Video also has similar issues.

An improved or replaced airplay subsystem would be great.

They're ProjectM visualizers, so we have a whole bunch to choose from. Just need to select a few good ones.

Improve regexp's in sed commands in installer

If this enhancement can be done #57 (Add Audio Output device settings to be set to Airplay capable devices)

It will be really really useful to have this Audio Delay settings available, because when streaming audio to the Airport Express, the delay must be set to something like 1,600s.

Like the XBMC settings here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Video_playback

thanks if this can be implemented !
and congratulations for your works on this boxeehack ;)

I noticed when the hack is enabled the watch later for movies doesn't work.

If it is at all possible...

It would be great if I could filter the file browser to unwatched files in all subfolders. Right now if you have shows in folders you have to go into each folder to check if any shows are unwatched.

Make a setting that allow you to play the next video in that local folder you watch a video in.

In the Back pop up menu just next to the settings to add a VPN icon.

Jerbob92 has added the ability to replace the featured media section with recently added media, this is great!

But what would be even better is letting each user decide between the original featured media (as long as it lasts), recently added media or a custom rss feed - preferably with some presets such as latest trailers from traileraddict or latest news clips from cnn etc.

As we are moving forward to an auto-updater(or at least an updater).
I would recommend doing the version checking based on the revision.

I would also recommend using a seperate "development" branch, and merge back to master when it's ready to get pushed to users.

(maybe we could also make the hack a "git clone" on the boxee itself? Updating from a script would be easier then too)
