I'd rather like to be able to have more than 3 lists available on the main page, preferably all my lists include other peoples I just follow. Or at least let me have 5 or 10 that i can select from.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
More than 3 lists.

No audio when playing video with 5.1 audio tracks

I'm having trouble with Boxee (running on a MacBook) playing media that has 5.1 dolby digital soundtracks. When I try and play such a video file (or a dvd) I get no sound at all whilst my receiver acknowledges its getting a 5.1 stream. So its like its getting a blank 5.1 audio stream.

In Boxee if I disable DTS in the audio setup I get audio but its stereo (rather than the 5.1). Why this is I don't quite understand as my receiver is a DTS one and the media files/dvds tried do not include DTS audio tracks.

Now its not a hardware or OS config issue as VLC and Plex both are able to play and give me 5.1 audio.

I'm all rather confused.

Quasar started following the question "Why is Hulu blocking boxee users from watching Hulu video on boxee" in hulu.

Support for Xbox Remote

Being an old XBMC fan, one thing I'd really like is remote support for my old remote (which i like more than the Apple remote).

Quasar replied on February 18, 2009 00:49 to the idea "Add proxy services into the Boxee (free and pay services) to access Hulu etc" in boxee:

Whilst I like the idea, this would hurt any relationships boxee has (or wants to have) with any content providers.

Support for The Autuers and Criterion movie streaming sites/services

One thing I'd really like to see is the addition of support for the arthouse film services The Auteurs and The Criterion Collection. Dunno how easy it would be though.

URLS for these sites being:

http://www.criterion.com/library/online
http://www.theauteurs.com/films

New categories for Music Videos and Audiobooks

One thing I've really like to see is a couple of other media categories for local media. Music Videos and Audiobooks being two (along with podcasts) that I have a ton off on my local media server.

I imagine for metadata for Audiobooks you could either grab it from Amazon or Audible.

Whilst I'd love it, i'm not sure other apps would be able to access it given how its been designed as a self contained Flash application.
