Boxee

I haven't seen any new topic on it, so i thought i'd share. Boxee compiled.

wget "http://dl.boxee.tv/boxee-source-0.9.3921.tar.gz"
tar -xzvf boxee-source-0.9.3921.tar.gz
cd boxee-source-0.9.3921
autoconf
./configure
make
./Boxee

no PKGBUILD.
I don't think it's doing everything it should, and it's got some quarks. All the same, to see something besides errors is exciting.

Was anyone else watching this?

Boxee is the steroid injected version of XMBC, or

boxee is a social media center. with boxee you can play videos, music and pictures from your PC or from the Internet. you can also share with your friends what albums you're listening to, what movies and TV shows you're watching, send recommendations and more.

Re: Boxee

Thanks!

I started by using the PKGBUILD provided by bizthepirate and edited by thunderpower.

I had to add a couple of dependencies to get it to work. Also, since I didn't have it myself, base-devel probably needs to be added to the list. From this: PKGBUILD. I was able to get Boxee to compile, but I did have to grab libcurl3 from the AUR in order to get hulu, cbs, and the other internet videos to work.
