Great to hear you love it as much as I do. Thanks.

The issue with the current public bbox build is that it does not automatically go to the player screen like it used to and is supposed to. It’s broken. I can assure you that future builds do go to the player screen as it should. Until that release is made public you’ll have to set boxee to fade out in the settings area or at the top of the screen is the yellow icon showing the song playing. If you use the remote to move up and highlight it, and click it, you then go to the actual player screen where the visualization is playing. It’s there….

Unfortunately, I cannot do anything to the app as you asked. You’ll have to manually go to the player screen and wait till the next build is released to the public that seems to have fixed this issue.

Love the App!

Is there any chance of either having the text shift position, shift colour, or fade out after a bit? I’m running a BBox on a Plasma TV and want to avoid burn in.

Also, the content is available in Canada too.

Thanks for awesome work!

phlite,

The app is a basic RSS app and works on PC, MAC, Linux and BBox. The app works flawlessly on all bboxes I and hundreds of other testers use for the past year, so if it does not work for you then you must be in a country that blocks the feed. I’m in the USA and the content may only be available here. Otherwise, try uninstalling and reinstalling.

Thanks.

It works on my BBoxes and PC’s. You need to explain further. ….In Other Words, when you add the repo the repo is there but none of the app show. Or is the repo loaded, but they don’t show under your Fav Apps?

I tried loading your repository up on my Boxee Box and none of the applications show up. It works fine on the version of Boxee I have installed on my Mac. Any idea why?

It works great on the Mac though.

Sorry, for the late reply. Yes, they add those every year. I added them over the Turkey Day weekend and the app will auto update.

I just installed this app, thanks for building it. SomaFM has 22 stations. Your missing the two xmas stations. Any chances of doing an update so we can get those as well?
