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.

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?
Overall the Dune Smart D1 is a solidly built machine. It may be a little deeper then some would like but otherwise has a very small footprint. At no point did I notice any sort of heating issues.
The UI on the Smart D1 is identical to the BD Prime (for more in depth analysis of the UI head over to the BR Prime review). Although not horrible the UI is still very basic, with a windows explorer type experience while navigating through your media. This is hopefully an area that HDI addresses as more and more media players in the market are getting away from the boring stock UI that we have become accustomed to. Simply allowing the Dune to boot directly into a 3rd party jukebox would at least provide a quick and effective solution.
The Dune HD Smart D1 is listed as Gigabyte but it is not recommended to use this. This is the same issue that plagues the PCH C-200, however unless you are transferring files to/from the Dune over the network 10/100 is plenty fine for streaming media. As with the BD Prime testing out network performance over smb (you can see how I set up here), I did not have any issues playing back all my high bitrate content on the Smart D1. I did have Fast SMB enabled and I believe it is recommended that all users who play content over the network enable this feature in the settings.
I must admit I am disappointed that mkv chapter support has still not been addressed, as this should be a very basic feature to implement and one that many other players on the market supports. That combined with support for forced subtitles in mkvs (which slowly players are starting to support) would provide a complete solution for the many mkv users out their. Overall once again the Smart D1 hit a home run playing back my various test files.
When it comes to online content there is currently very little offered. I noticed a new icon showed up recently on the Main Menu called Kartina.tv which I had never heard of (from reading around it appears to be a site for accessing Russian TV, the last Russian show I watched was Rocky IV!). I am not a big online content person but as more and more players add support for online content I believe this is something HDI will need to address to make the Dune players a more complete player. I did test PlayON streaming from my Windows Home Server to the Smart D1 and had no issues with playback (although PlayOn is a bit of a hack solution versus native integration).
This is the area for me that is real important as the stock UI of the Dune is lacking in so many areas. I have been using Zappiti with the Dune BD Prime, so it was nice that once the Smart D1 was set up I was up and running with Zappiti on the D1 in no time. One thing I like about a 3rd party jukebox is the ability to centrally manage the jukebox. Some players such as the Boxee Box you would manage the jukebox from the player itself. When having multiple players this could add extra work as you need too manage each player individually. With Zappiti or the other 3rd party jukeboxes I can simply manage the jukebox from my PC and know that both the BD Prime and Smart D1 will be updated and in sync (this also comes in handy since a majority of the time I am updating Zappiti remotely). For more information on Zappiti see my guide here. I also hope to take a closer look at yaDIS 2.0 and MyMovies (for this one I am waiting for individual TV episode support before digging in to).
Just as with the Dune BD Prime the Smart D1 lived up to expectations. From a hardware standpoint it is very well constructed, fanless, and quiet. Undoubtedly when it comes to local video playback, the Smart D1 not only does it but it does it well, and I would argue for local video content the Dune is amongst the best out there. Like many of the other media players out there music and photos is a weak spot, and if that is an important area then I would recommend looking elsewhere. With the expanded lineup across a variety of price ranges this should as well open up the Dune to a wider consumer base. The challenge that will present the Dune players is how they evolve in the coming year(s). Online content (such as Netflix) is becoming more important (emphasis on the U.S market), and if more media players continue to add online content Dune runs the risk of being left behind. There is also Cinavia looming and the question of how it will impact the current and future Dune players (more on Cinavia and the potential impact shortly). A simple solution for the bland stock UI would be to more tightly integrate the 3rd party jukeboxes into the UI (the easiest way would be to allow the user to have the Dune load directly into the jukebox of their choice).
Overall I feel that HDI has another winner with the Smart D1 and others in the Smart series. Continued work should be focused on forging online content partnerships, enhancing the stock UI, and bringing new features to their players (such as source direct, mkv chapter support, and mkv forced subtitle support to name a few). For my setup my top priority is flawless playback of my local content (in particular HD content) with an emphasis on Audio and Picture Quality, and the Smart D1 does not disappoint.
I should also mention that for owners of the Smart series there will be an option to upgrade to the next Sigma chip once available. It is unclear though exactly what the cost will be associated with the upgrade, so for now we will just have to sit tight and await further details.
