Boxee has given their Boxee Box by D-Link a significant update which brings new features and content.
Browser Upgrades
● Favorites (Bookmarks) & History – Now you can easily get back to pages you've just viewed or ones you visit most often.
● New On Screen Display (no auto-full screen*) – We've cleaned up the web playback OSD to let you see more of what's going on in the background and to include access to a few more options down below.
● HTML 5 To The Max – We've improved our support for HTML 5 so you'll now be able to access more content, like HBOGO.
Movie Trailers
What better way to keep up with the latest movie releases than by watching movie trailers on your TV until your hearts content.
On Screen Display Loses Some Weight
We've revamped the OSD and included an awesome new seek bar for precise rewinding/fast forwarding, slimmed down the button count, and made it easier to see what's going on behind the scenes. We've also removed the volume control for a more consistent experience.*
Customized Artwork / Info for Media Files
Why let Boxee pick movie art and descriptions when you can have your own? Import video into Boxee and add your own artwork and metadata to accompany it with NFO files. Works like a charm on home movies.
Local File Playback
We now have support HFS formatted drives, seek functionality inside music playback, and you can filter local files by source.
Share Where You Want
Now you can specify whether you want to share that ColdSteel video to Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr with a helpful character counter built-in.
MLB.TV Upgrades
This new version has enabled a lot of updates to the MLB.TV app so now you'll be able to watch live and archived games, jump to specific innings or game events, see pop-up details on every pitch, and have a much easier time rewinding and fast-forwarding in games.
More Languages
The Boxee Box is on sale in 34 countries. While "Boxee" translates well into all of them, the rest of the words on screen are a bit off. Now users can enjoy Boxee in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Hebrew, Danish, Dutch, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Portugese (Brazil), Czech, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish.
New Content
We threw in some extra content just for good measure.
Wealth TV: A team of acclaimed producers create fresh programs on private jets and exotic first-class travel as well as intellectual discussion on money and philanthropy, all in HD.
SnagFilms: Committed to finding the world‘s most compelling documentaries, whether from established heavyweights or first-time filmmakers to make them available to the wide audience these titles deserve. SnagFilms serves up full-length documentary films for free.
Boxee will be rolling this version out over the next few days to all Boxee Boxes.
