Add support for Demand Five
Add support for Demand Five from channel 5, as it would give people in the uk access to the likes of CSI, Numb3rs & NCIS for free. Demand Five also now uses flash which should be helpful with cross platform support.

Inappropriate?yes please!!! -
Inappropriate?I think this is a great idea and in theory it would make Boxee so much better but...
Five on demand has, in its infinite wisdom, decided to make users login every time they want to watch a program, free or otherwise. Without Five's co-operation this would not work at all unless you found the list of users and built the login into the app which could possibly work and potentially be quite illegal. It would make sense to approach Five to see if they want to integrate into Boxee but chances are they would not see the benefit to this project and probably reject any proposal unless they could be convinced it would make them money.
You could somehow integrate Adobe Air though into the app to make BBC iPlayer better to use but also you do have to remember that not all users will want this as some if not most users are from the USA.
Anyway anyone willing to give it a go are welcome to or even contact Five and persuade them to put some resources into it. Good luck!
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?I have created an unofficial Demand Five application for Boxee.
More details are available in this thread on the Boxee forums -
Inappropriate?Wooop! Great stuff, haven't had chance to test it yet but sounds very promising, thanks for your work!
I’m happy
