BOXEE BOX 2016 INSTALL
The one thing missing that would come with a NAS is a built in torrent client, but with your current setup it might even be easier to update the drives over a wired network vs switching drives from boxee to a computer.Īlso, this is a pretty big plus, the ASUS routers have an "AiCloud" software you can install and, through the Dynamic-DNS built into the firmware, connect to your router from any android\apple device connected to the internet and stream content. I have a RT-AC68u and the share drives work fine with my WD TV Live. Might have to drop $100-$200 on a router, but you would be able to plug in USB drives and have Samba shares and possibly even DLNA support right in the router. In regards to NAS, look into a router with USB ports. You might be able to set it up on a Amazon Fire TV, the fire TV has great hardware and plenty of memory. I think the best replacement would be XBMC. Pick up a remote, browse the nice interface, and press play. I know everyone will say to build a HTPC, but I need something wife/kid proof. YouTube, Netflix) would be nice, but not a big deal at all. In a new box, I'd like to have something with DEEP support for local media. All is good, and I don't have many complaints (for now). So, now, I'm back to the original firmware. It didn't find the local trailers, but that wasn't a big deal at the time. Mainly, having HD fanart for each movie/tv show was mind-blowing. I also tried loading XBMC, but, for some reason, it wouldn't boot (Yes, I've checked into this and tried everything, but it didn't want to boot on my unit).Īlthough it was slow, man, was it nice when it was running Boxee+. I originally scraped everything with the intentions of using Boxee+, but it caused random freezing, reboots, and made the box generally slow. Now, all of this information is available locally. It should be noted, however, that it was only able to identify ~95% of movies & tv shows.
BOXEE BOX 2016 MOVIE
No matter what type of file it was, this box would scrape IMDB and display the movie title, poster, description, and would even provide a link to the (usually HD) trailer if available. What I've always loved about the Boxee Box is its ability to handle local media.īefore I got all of my local "supporting media" via Ember Media Manager, I simply had the video file (multiple formats). In the future, I'd like to have all of this on a NAS (Synology or Buffalo, nothing fancy) and cable up (no wireless needed) my house with GigE switches for streaming locally.

TV episodes have corresponding data as well. On these hard drives, I have my Movies & TV shows organized xbmc-style with each film having its own nfo, poster(.tbn), fanart, (some have) subtitles, and trailers within each folder.

Right now, I have 2x2TB connected directly to the box. My box has been working fine for about 2 years now, but going forward, I need a more long-term solution. I know it's been asked before, but I'm looking for the closest replacement for the Boxee Box.
