8. How do I know that an application or TV show is not playing because it's geoblocked, and not because of some other problem with Boxee?

Some content providers block access to their content from outside their region due to distribution agreements in different parts of the world.

The easiest way to know which is which is to visit to the original content provider's website and try to play the media directly from there. If it works on their website, it should also work in Boxee. If it won't play on their website, then Boxee won't play it either.

You will then be asked if you would like to do a screen calibration.

• If you feel your screen is OK (looks like the ones above), Select Skip.

Screen Calibration Would you like to Set Screen Calibration first? Note: you can always set it later under Settings->Appearance->Screen OK SKIP

- If you feel your screen is not OK (does not look like the ones above), Select OK.

Basic Settings

Calibrating the Screen

When running Boxee for the first time after an install, you will be asked if you would like to calibrate the screen. You can choose to calibrate now or skip calibration. If you choose not to calibrate at install, you can always do this adjustment at any time if you find your screen is not calibrated correctly and/or parts of the Boxee user interface are missing off the screen.

To set Boxee to fit your screen, please follow these instructions:

- Go to Settings > Look & Feel > Screen > Screen Format & overscan...

SETTINGS DISPLAY ASPECT RATIO AND OVERSCAN OVERSCAN None ASPECT RATIO 4:3 (1.33) Advanced Calibration 3% 16:9 (1.78) 4% 16:10 (1.6) 5% 21:9 (2.35) 6% Custom Restore Defaults

• You may be able to get your screen adjusted correctly by using the 'standard adjustments' above.
• If your screen still needs more adjustment then click on Advanced Calibration
• You will be presented a screen like you see below:

Windowed | Top-Left overscan compensation (0,0) Adjust the arrow to change the amount of overscan

- On this screen use the enter / select key to move between the four adjustment cursors. They will turn green when selected.

• First, go to the top left cursor (seen above) and use the arrow keys to position it in the top left corner of the screen. You should be able to see the green arrow-head and two thin green lines in the corner.
• Next, switch to the bottom right cursor and adjust it so you see the arrowhead and the two thin lines in that corner.
• Now select the subtitle positioning bar and move it up or down to the position on the screen were you would like to see the subtitles presented.
• Finally, move to the center square (aspect ratio) and adjust it to ensure box is square(use a flexible ruler if required) and the circle round.
• That's it! Your screen is now calibrated. Hit Esc or Back until you reach the Home Screen.

Setting Screen Resolution

Since Boxee has been designed as a home media center, it starts in full screen mode the first time you use it. You can change this at any time by changing the resolution for Boxee on your display from the menu at Settings > Look & Feel > Screen > Resolution. If you have one display attached you will be given two options: Full Screen and Windowed. Select the option you would like to use, then select Test & apply resolution and OK.

SETTINGS APPEARANCE Look & feel Region Screen View options Screensaver Weather Resolution 1280x1024 @ 70.00 - Full Screen Test & apply resolution Display blanking Display blanking Disabled Screen format & overscan... Vertical blank sync Always enabled

Setting up a Secondary Screen

If you have two displays attached, you can control the resolution for Boxee in your main, as well as your secondary display.

Set your display preferences to "extended desktop" on you computer.

1. Run Boxee.
2. Go to Settings > Appearance > Screen.
3. For Resolution, choose Full Screen #2.
4. Click on Test Resolution.

You can also toggle between window and full screen modes, by hitting the "\" (backslash) key.

Set your Region

Set your Region and Language by going to Settings > Look & Feel > Region in the Boxee.

Setting your region enables you to personalize your version of Boxee in your preferred language with the correct time, date and weather temperature(displayed in the top right corner of your screen).

• Some content providers block access to their content from outside their region. That has to do with distribution rights in different parts of the world, and lots of legal mumble jumbo we won't get into here.
• Technically, those content providers check the IP address of your the computer, and block access to IP's not within the authorized region.
• There are some ways of getting the desired IP address for your computer, even when connecting from different parts of the world, and you can probably google for more info on that matter.

How do I know that an application is not playing because it's geo-blocked, and not because of some other problem with Boxee?

The easiest way would be to pay a visit to the original content provider's website and try to play the media directly from there. If it works on their website, it should also work in Boxee. If it won't play on their website, then Boxee won't play it either.

So, which Boxee applications are geo-blocked?

Here's a short and partial (as we don't really know which applications the community is adding to Boxee, we can only testify on the apps developed in-house) list of the geo-blocked services in Boxee:

Blocked for IP's outside the US:

• CBS
- Hulu feeds
• Joost (only part of the content)
• MTV (most of the content)
- Netflix
- The WB
- Amazon
- Pandora

Blocked for IP's outside the UK:

- BBC iPlayer

So why are you showing me stuff I can't watch?

If you do not wish to see those feeds and applications pointing to such content, please do the following:

1. Open Boxee Settings > Look & Feel > Region.
2. Check the Hide feeds and applications that cannot be played in your region option.

That's it. Now you will not see those feeds and applications any more.

Change the Background Image

Change the background image Boxee uses at:

• Settings > Look & Feel > Background Image
• Select Set background image
• Browse your local file system to the desired image
• Select the image and then select OK

You can also have Boxee cycle through images in a folder you specify to be displayed in the background.

Change the Background images folder at:

• Settings > Look & Fee > Background Image
• Select Set background images folder
• Browse your local file system to the desired folder
• Select the folder and then select OK

If the background images folder has been previously set it can be reset to the default image by going back to:

• Settings > Look & Fee > Background Image
• Select Reset background images folder

Organizing your media library

Adding Media Sources

Media sources are folders or drives Boxee looks through to identify and add media content to the TV Shows, Movies, Music, Photos and Files screens. By default, a few sources are pre-defined in the Boxee installation, and those include your operating system's default media folders (i.e. Microsoft Windows' "My Music", "My Videos" and "My Pictures" folders).

You can add as many sources to Boxee as you like from your local hard drive, external hard drives or from your network. You will need to make sure you have access to shared folders in the networked computer hosting the media you want to share. If the media source is on a Mac computer, you will need to define the share as SMB.

There are several ways by which you can get to adding a source in Boxee.

From the Home Screen select one of the following methods:

1. Settings > Local Sources > Add Sources, select the source you would like to add, select Add Source

2. Settings > Local Sources > Add Sources, go to the bottom of the list and select Manually Enter IP / Name...

3. Enter the Hostname or IP of the remote machine

4. Enter the Username and Password of the remote machine and select OK
5. Choose the drive, folder or file you would like to add and then select Add Source

6. NOTE: if you do not set a static IP for the source computer, the source might become unavailable when the IP address changes.

7. Files, select the source you would like to add, from the left/slide menu select Add Media Share

8. Movies, TV Shows or Music, from the left/slide menu select Manage Sources > Add Sources select the source you would like to add, select Add Source

You will be presented with this screen (SETTINGS : LOCAL FILES):

SETTINGS LOCAL FILES SHARE NAME Movies on SERVER SHARE LOCATION smb://SERVER/Media (F)/Movies Add Scan source MEDIA TYPE VIDEO TYPE OF SCANNING PRIVATE (NEVER) MUSIC ONCE PHOTOS DAILY MONITORED (VERY FREQUENT)

Once here you can then:

• Enter the SHARE NAME for your source (keep it simple so you can easily identify it later).
• Review the SHARE LOCATION for correctness.
• Check the source MEDIA TYPE (multiple selection is available for multiple media types in the source).
• Choose TYPE OF SCANNING for how often or if Boxee should scan your media:

o PRIVATE (NEVER): If you don't want the content in the specific source scanned.
- ONCE: Boxee will scan this folder once when added, and never again.
o DAILY : Boxee will check this folder for new content once a day for new content.
○ MONITORED (VERY FREQUENT): recommended if you are adding/deleting files regularly.

- Click on the Add button

• Done! Source added.

Once your content has been indexed or recognized by Boxee, you will be able to locate your media in its appropriate location on Boxee (Movies / TV Shows / Music / Photos / Files).

File Scanning and Identification Progress

Boxee scans for media only when it is idle and not doing other tasks. Adding media shares does not mean they will show up in "My TV Shows", "My Movies", "My Music or "My Photos" immediately. Boxee scans for the media shares, tries to identify the media and checks sources on the web to get data like cover art, fan art, thumbnails and other metadata to allow Boxee to present a rich interface to the user.

You can now specify the frequency of scanning(Private, Once, Daily, Monitored) for media of folders on your computer. It provides for better performance and greater control over the process. You can manually initiate a scan when browsing local folders (Main Menu > Files) or define a folder as a new media source.

- You can easily see how many files Boxee is scanning, has identified, and/or doesn't recognize within your media collection. Check the status from any menu sidebar (TV shows, Movies, Music) or from the Media settings menu (Settings > Local Sources).

Correctly naming local media files

After setting up your media sources Boxee will start to retrieve artwork and information, based on how your media files are named.

There is a specific way you must name your movie files and your TV shows and episodes for the function to work correctly.

For correct names of Movies and TV shows, please refer to IMDB.com

Movies

It is recommended to place a single movie inside a directory.

Boxee currently supports the following naming convention for movies:

Title.extension

Examples:

• Die.Hard.avi
- Toy.Story.2.avi

It is recommended that you add the movie's release year for greater accuracy, especially when dealing with remakes.

Title.(YEAR).extension

Examples:

• The.Day.the.Earth.Stood.Still.(1951).avi
• The.Day.the.Earth.Stood.Still.(2008).avi

For multi-part movie both part# and cd# are supported.

Title.part#.extension

Examples:

• Seven.Pounds.cd1.avi
• Seven.Pounds.cd2.avi

  • The.Simpsons.Movie.part2.avi

All parameters can be used in conjunction - Title.(Year).part.extension Examples:

• The.Stepford.Wives.(2004).part1.avi

• The.Stepford.Wives.(1975).cd2.avi

TV Shows

TV Shows' file names are usually consisted of the show's name, the season (usually indicated by the letter "S", or just the number), the episode (usually indicated by the letter "E", or just the number), the episode's title, and some more info regarding the quality and source of the file.

Boxee currently supports the following types of naming conventions for tv shows.

Show.Title.S##E##.info.extension (double digits are required: S#E# will not work.) Examples:

• The.Sopranos.S02E01.avi
- Entourage.S05E01.avi

Show.Title.#x##.info.extension

Examples:

• How.I.Met.Your.Mother.1x01.Pilot.avi
• The.Office.02×02.stuff.avi

Please note: Adding the series' release year in the file will help resolve remakes and TV shows with similar names

(please refer to IMDB.com to find the correct release year of the show)

Extra/Special episodes:

Season number should be '00', episode number should be 01-##.

The episode number should be assigned according to thetvdb.com listings.

Example:

South Park extra episode called "The Spirit of Christmas (santa vs frosty)" http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid=75897&seasonid... should be named South.Park.S00E02

Music

With music, the most important issue is the id3 tags.

These tags hold all the information such as album name, artist, year, genre and even artwork. Whatever is there, will be presented in Boxee, so be sure to include as much info as possible in your id3 tags.

If you do not want to keep the artwork as part of the id3 tag, you can also put a picture file of the artwork in the relevant folder, and name the file 'folder.jpg'.

Resolving an Unidentified Movie or TV Show

There is a specific way you must name your movie files and your TV shows and episodes for the function to work correctly.

After setting up your media sources, Boxee will start to retrieve artwork, information and other metadata, based on how your media files are named.

If Boxee finds some media files that were unresolved, Boxee's manual resolve function allows you to complete the information for you favorite media. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you.

Manual Movie & TV Show identification

Fix unresolved Movies or TV show seasons and episodes to ensure your collection is pristine.

- Select Unidentified Files from Settings > Local Sources

- OR -

• Select Files icon from the Jump Menu, and then select the Unresolved Videos folder at the bottom of the list
• Click on one of the videos in the list
• Choose the Identify Video icon

FILE BROWSER (86 ITEMS) WALKTHELINE-4636413-0.MPG PLAY IDENTIFY VIDEO

- Enter the correct name for the movie or show.

- Click on Search.

- Choose the movie or show that matches the one you trying to resolve from the results list.

DONE BACK ADD PARTS You Don't Know Jack Part 1 2010.aw! You Don't Know Jack Part 2 2010.aw!

- Select Done if you agree.

This will usually do the trick. However, if the movie or show is not in the online databases that Boxee uses for indexing your media(IMDB), then Boxee will not be able to recognize the media. In such a case, you will always be able to access those unrecognized videos through the File Browser.

If you find that Boxee just does not know what to do with your video file at this point, please submit this online form if you are having trouble with a movie or submit this online form if you are having trouble with a TV show.

Photos

Viewing Local Photos

Boxee can display all common digital picture / image formats with options like slide show with the "Ken Burns Effect" and the ability to zoom / pan on an image. To change the settings in Boxee go to Settings > Media > Photos from the Boxee Home Screen. To change the slideshow to show photos in a random order check mark Settings > Look & Feel > Screensaver > Randomize.

It is important to note that for Boxee to find your local and network photos you must set Boxee to access the appropriate shares and allow some time for Boxee to do the file scanning and identification process after adding the share the first time.

You can reach the My Photos screen from the Home Screen or Global Menu by selecting the Photos icon.

Apps

The full list of Boxee apps can be found in 3rd party app repositories.

Adding and Removing Apps from My Apps

By default, the My Apps screen is populated with some of the more interesting and popular Boxee Apps. However, there are many many more Apps available in the App Library:

1. From the My Apps screen, use the left/slide menu and select App Library

1. From here you can peruse the large list of additional applications available in Boxee for accessing various kinds of online content. You'll also notice that some of these Apps (like YouTube) are already present on the My Apps screen. You can think of the App Library as the default master list of Apps that Boxee makes available and the My Apps screen as your set of favorite Apps.

2. On the left/slide menu you have a number of options for sorting and filtering as well

Once you have found an App (or several Apps) of interest, you can do any of the following:

1. Launch the App (take it for a test run, so to speak) by selecting Start
2. Select Add to My Apps so that the App will show up in the My Apps screen every time
3. Select Shortcut to add the App to your Shortcuts (more on Shortcuts)

Note: Once an App has been added to the My Apps screen, the option Remove From My Apps is displayed instead of Add to My Apps.

Adding a Third-party Repository

Although Boxee has many Apps to start, believe it or not, there are even more Boxee applications available to chose from. Third-party developers (those not on the Boxee team) can also create and share Boxee applications with Boxee users. They do this by creating a Boxee Repository, a place where they publicly store their Boxee application and from where you can access it via Boxee.

First, find a Repository with Boxee Apps that you want to add to Boxee. One site with a list of a lot of repositories is http://fuzzthed.com/repository.php Once you have found a repository with one or more applications you would like to use, then:

Make a note of the repository URL, for example, dir.fuzzthed.com

• From the My Apps or Apps Library screen open the left/slide menu.
- Select Repositories.
- Click on Add Repository from the left menu:

SEARCH Title or Keyword SHOW ME My Apps App Library SORT RECENTLY USED FILTERS Type : All VIEW THUMBS LIST EXTRAS REPOSITORIES MY A RECENTLY U KOLDCAST.TV BOXEE BROWS

- Type in the repository's address, for example: dir.fuzzthed.com

• Select Done. If the repository was successfully added to Boxee, the name of the repository will be listed in the My Repositories screen.

• Click on the repository to view the new applications and then select any of the available applications to:

• Launch the App (take it for a test run, so to speak) by selecting Start

• Select Add to My Apps so that the App will show up in the My Apps screen every time
• Select Shortcut to add the App to your Shortcuts (more on Shortcuts below)

You can add as many repositories as you can find -- the possibilities are nearly endless!

Files

Using the File Browser

Boxee has a File Browser that allows you to browse through and select any media on your network that has been shared. You can play/view the media, add a selected source as a Boxee Mediashare or go to the Unresolved Videos folder and work through resolving them.

You can reach the File Browser screen from the Home Screen or Global Menu by selecting the Files icon.
