Sorry for my bad englisch.

Hola Gianluca, estas en Espaa? a mi me pasa totalmente lo mismo, me puedes decir como has pasado de la fase de inicio de sesin? Qu configuracin o servidor has utilizado para que funcione? si quieres me puedes enviar la respuesta a mi email particular (bocadil...@hotmail.com) Te lo agradecera mucho. Gracias.

Can you please add me to your list? I have been trying for days to get this boxee working again. I am stuck at the network as i cant get it to connect to anything. I would like to try your boxee server light if thats the best way to get it online.
Thanks

I stupidly did a Factory restore and have lost access, as there no internet.
hoping your suggestion will restore it to near normal so i can root again.
pls add me to your white list.

I would like you to help me to bring my Boxee to life again.
I come to the window where I shall connect to internet an insert ip, dns etc. And it won`t connect of course.
How do I go from there??

Nick,
My local DNS (PiHole) is waiting for work ?
However how do I run boxee-server-light outside of docker?
Running app.py directly in python exits immediately Please help.

I dont Speak English :c

thanks for adding nick
i upgraded boxee.ios 1.5.xxx and i have given DSN as 18.211.111.89 in my boxee device, still i could not connect
am i have to do anything with boxee-server-light as you said

The IP you set in your manual settings has to be an internal IP, not your ISP IP. I suspect your gateway is incorrect too. Might need to let it automatically get an IP from your router, make note of it, then manually set my DNS. Only change the DNS setting.

Hi Nick. I am still looking for the answer for this question. Will boxed only function with an internet connection. I would like to just plug in a usb drive and watch movies at the cottage that does not have internet available. Sorry if you have to answer this question again. Thanks. David

Please add mine. 174.119.172.193
Thanks for your reply to my previous post above. T0 summarize, change Primary DNS (yours) on my Boxee, connect to internet just one time, disconnect internet and now I should be able to use Kodi to play movies from my attached USB drive. And Boxee will never require an internet connection ever again as long as I do not log out of the Boxee?

Hi
I bought recently second hand DSM-380 Boxee and i cannot connect to the internet though on the TV i read connected to your wifi and no internet.
How can i resolve this problem?
And i need the firmware to try to update it If you please.
Thank you in Advance.
Best Regards

Buenas noches no tengo mucho conocimiento una vez que me adicionaron mi IP que ms tengo que hacer para que funcione uso mi IP local con que dns o la IP que me adicionaron la pongo el el boxee box porque igual no tengo acceso a internet cable de Red conectado pero sin acceso gracias

Nick, Thanks again. Read a lot of the thread and noticed a few comments about DSM-382 boxee boxes. I did a quick scan and noticed that those devices are requesting DNS to :

I get a 404 response from your DNS server as I do not think you have that in your list. Not sure if that helps.

Can I get your help, because I reset the Boxee Box, upgraded to new version of firmware.
I understand the plan.
But I am not a develper or sever expert, so in the next step with Docker I can not follow your instructions.

I so see that there is no internet connection (by your dns it is connected but no traffic, or by dynamic ally assigned dns then there is no connection). That is to be expected? That it will function with local files (ie from a NAS), but not getting thumbnails from the net or such?

A streaming media service (also simply called a streaming service) is an online platform that allows users to watch or listen to content, such as movies, TV shows, music, or podcasts, over the internet. Instead of downloading the content to their device, users can stream it in real-time, which means they can start watching or listening immediately without having to wait for the entire file to download. Popular examples of streaming services include Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube.

An over-the-top media service (OTT) is a streaming media service offered directly to viewers via the Internet. OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite television platforms, the companies that traditionally act as controllers or distributors of such content. Most of these services are owned by a major film studio. Some streaming services started as an add-on to Blu-ray offerings, which are supplements to the programs watched.

Digital streaming acts in a similar way to on-demand television in that the program to watch is selected. But the program is not recorded or stored like it might be on TiVo, etc. Digital video purchases grant a user indefinite access to a show or film, but the terms and conditions vary as to whether the file can be downloaded or must be streamed.

A client end-user can use a media player, computer, smartphone, or smart TV to start and continue playing digital video content before the entire file has been transmitted. Users will need an Internet connection to stream or download video content. Users lacking compatible hardware or software systems may be unable to stream or download certain content.

Hulu: Hulu Originals,[g] 20th Television, FX Networks, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Blue Sky Studios, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, licensed content from other vendors

Max: HBO, Max Originals, Cinemax, Warner Bros.,[m] The CW, Discovery Channel, Food Network, TLC, Asian Food Network, Eurosport, HGTV, ID, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Magnolia Network, New Line Cinema, DC Studios, Turner Entertainment, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, CNN, HLN, BBC Studios, Sesame Workshop,[n] Comedy Central,[o] Studio Ghibli,[o] Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, Boomerang, Adult Swim, TBS, TNT, TruTV, Wizarding World

The following services are owned and operated by television networks, cable channels, or other conglomerates in that market. They are major content producers, and their streaming services serve as the primary means of distributing the content that often first airs on their networks or channels.

It's worse than just the PC-like functionality causing UI overload - the "dumb" TVs without the PC section also have awful UIs. It seems to be an industry with no UI skills at all - I guess they think nobody makes a purchase choice based on the UI menus.

That's exactly right. TV manufacturing is an industry historically focused on hardware. Now that TVs include software, the UI is left in charge of the same old team of hardware engineers, who are reluctant to admit they're totally out of their depth. Good UI design is a craft unto itself, and needs a very different mindset to hardware design. You see the same thing in most hardware categories: phones, printers, scanners, AV gear... hardware companies make lousy software.

Apple is one of very few companies that understands software UI design, which is a big reason for its massive dominance these days. Unfortunately, Apple values its control of the user even more highly than the user's control of the device, which explains why its dominance is never complete.

Absolutely, the focus on hardware. I worked with Japanese monitor/TV manufacturers in the 1990s and discovered a different world, oriented around the factories, UI barely a thought. Improved to some degree since but the whole idea of integrated smart TV is flawed. Consumers expect screens to last 7-10 years at least so building in technology that is undergoing a rapid rate of change is pointless unless the objective is to somehow annoy your customers into early upgrade. Rapid built in obsolescence such as we find in 2-year contract smartphones does not translate to the TV industry. Keep the smarts outside the panel, its a no-brainer.

Best thing I ever did was throw my TV out - gave it to the accursed junki next door, so he could sit there taking two types of drugs for his brain, while I spend my spare time designing furniture and making it.

I'd just wish they'd fix the damn bugs in these things. I have 2 HD Recorders by Humax and Sagemcom and both sometimes "forget" to record a sheduled program or worse lockup or outright crash as and when they feel like it. I also have a Sony Blu Rayer player with "internet" facilities (yeah, I bought into the hype) none of which work properly.

I'm sorry , but when I buy non-PC home electronics I expect it to Just Work. I DON'T expect to have to download a fix just to sort out problems that should have been obvious with 2 minutes of testing when they were writing the damn firmware! I never had to download a "firmware" fix for my VHS deck or CD player and I don't see why I should have to damn well do it with with an HD Recorder or blu ray player. You can argue they're more complex but frankly I don't give a sh*t - they should work out of the box and if that requires them to spend and afternoon testing it before release it then so be it.

Part of the problem is that makers see the software as firmware, not as an OS with a need for extensive functionality, a credible UI, and competent applications using a reasonably standard API. And because they think it's firmware, they leave it all to the TV designers to produce closed systems that they can't be bothered to update.
