Providing a computer running Boxee is up and running, no configuration is required. Getting the app set up really could not be simpler. Using Boxee Remote you can turn your iPad or iPhone into a remote control that can be used to navigate Boxee without the need to reach for your computer or laptop.

Log in to the boxee box over telnet with: telnet 2323Įdit the nf file in /data/etc/nf using either vi or nano and remove the hack from the password field (or use the earlier instructions to disable the hack, however without rebooting).Boxee is a great piece of software that can be used to transform your Mac or PC into a fully-fledge media centre that can be used to play music, watch videos, display photos and surf the internet.
If you want to you can also uninstall manually: Just go into Settings -> Network -> Servers, and change your hostname into "boxeebox sh /media/BOXEE/uninstall.sh". If you want to completely uninstall you can run the uninstaller on your USB stick. You can also reenable it by adding in: " sh /data/hack/boot.sh " into that same hostname field again in the future. You now no longer have the hack running, and everything should be back to normal. Then switch the boxee box off and back on again. The quick way is to go into Settings -> Network -> Servers, and enter a new hostname (which now contains the hack), just remove everything in the edit field and type e.g. There are two ways to disable this hack if you want to.

Particularly some skin features are used that will probably not work on older Boxee builds, and even may leave your box in an unbootable state, requiring you to do a factory reset. Of course you'll need a Boxee Box for this, and you'll also need an empty USB stick.Īlso make sure you are on the latest firmware (1.5.1), since this hack has only been tested with that version.
