Boxee Media Manager is a simple way of viewing online movies, music, TV, and photos. Online TV, movies, music, and photos - made easy for couch potatoes.

Features & Benefits: Designed for the TV using a Remote Control - connect your computer to a TV using an DVI/VGA to HDMI cable.

On a laptop or connected to an HDTV, Boxee's free software lets you navigate all your personal movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like MLB, Netflix, Pandora, Last.fm, and Flickr from one screen with a remote.
What's New
Version 1.5.0:

Version 1.5 of Boxee is currently being tested by Boxee Box Early Access users and will soon be available in Beta. We plan to release 1.5 together with Live TV later in January. Here’s some of the new features you can look forward to on the Boxee Box…

  • Home Screen - We’ve added links to the standard menu to launch the Browser and Live TV (once you’ve attached the dongle). We also gave the featured section a small facelift.
  • Menu - The Menu is now more accessible, popping up as an overlay that lets you quickly navigate between different sections or search. we also optimized search to minimize the number of clicks.
  • Movies & TV Shows - We updated the layout of Movies and TV Shows for easier navigation by Genre and Source as well as providing quick access to trailers.
  • There is also a new Movie details screen with extended synopsis and cast & crew information. For TV Shows it is now much easier to jump between seasons and see which episodes you already watched.
  • Watch Later & Friends - We expanded the thumbnails in Watch Later & Friends sections and now let you filter between clips, TV Shows and Movies.

Ok, this is a mess-up, MU, Boxee and Boxee Media Manager are completely separate apps!

My mouse only can travel about 50% across the screen here in version 1.5. I had to revert back to the stable build. :(

Apparently, 1.5 will be the final version of the desktop app. They are concentrating only on their Boxee device from now on.

Here's the full note about this:

http://blog.boxee.tv/2011/12/26/boxee-1-5-fall-software-update/

"Growing Past the PC

This 1.5 release will be the last version of Boxee for PC/Mac/Ubuntu. It will be available on Boxee.tv through the end of January.

We believe the future of TV will be driven by devices such as the Boxee Box, Connected TVs / Blu-Rays and 2nd screen devices such as tablets and phones. While there are still many users who have computers connected to their TVs, we believe this use case is likely to decline as users find better alternatives. People will continue to watch a lot of video on their computer, but it is more likely to be a laptop than a home-theater PC and probably through a browser rather than downloaded software.

To our computer users… to those who have come out to our NYC and SF meetups, talked with us at Engadget, GDGT, and Giz Gallery events, or enjoyed Austin BBQ with us during SxSW, or simply messaged with us on Facebook, Twitter, and our forums… thank you for all your support – we would not be where we are today without you. But we can’t stay here.

We are excited about the upcoming release of Boxee Live TV and our new product roadmap for 2012. If you are a current Boxee user on a computer we hope that you will enjoy 1.5 and maybe when you are ready to retire that good ol’ HTPC/Mac Mini you will decide to get a Boxee Box.

Sincerely,

Team Boxee"

Yes, and for whatever reason some genius programmer at Boxee decided that this last version is for 64bit CPUs only :-(
Still like the V0.9 but probably switch to XMBC.

The reason I got Boxee was to watch Vudu content. I linked my accounts no problem and see my rentals, however when I go to watch an movie (SD, all I've got so far), the movie plays for less then a minute and then I hear the fan of my mini spin up and it freezes, requiring a force stop.
This has happened 3 times, which is every time.
I have a brand new mini, 10.7.2, 8gb ram and newest Boxee.

I know this is a late reply, but I was having the same problem, and it's the same on the Windows version of Boxee. They "fixed the glitch" by removing Vudu support for Boxee. Ugh.

I tried them all, Plex, Centerstage.. non of them are perfect, nearly all of them are in an endless alpha/beta stage but Boxee is still the best and most stable MultiMedia solution for my MacMini.
It could deserve an update but the company has its focus now on their hardware...

Boxee really needs a Crackle.com plugin! ;-) Some pretty good free content there...

I like it but somehow it can't find all my movies. It only found one. Yet Front Row and XBMC found them all.

Maboroshi had trouble on 07 Mar 2010
I'm having the opposite problem. My remote now ONLY works in Boxee.
I think its this "boxeeservice" application thats running in the background that seems to be completely blocking normal use of my apple remote.
Annoyingly, even after quitting the app through Activity Monitor, within seconds the app reopens itself.

Whats up with that??

"Annoyingly, even after quitting the app through Activity Monitor, within seconds the app reopens itself."

You've got a launch agent or launchdaemon that's making sure it stays active. Check out ~/Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, /System/Library/LaunchAgents, and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons.

Type "launchctl unload" along with the name (and *full* path) of whatever one looks like it's keeping it active. It's most likely not going to be in the System directories, and take care before unloading anything located in *there*.

Once you've done that, delete the file in question.

This version won't work for me at all; the app just seems to hang. I can force-quit it, at least (i.e., it doesn't hang my whole Mac). I'm not impressed...

will help you. don't know how it does it but it "redirects" the remote commands to apps like boxee, xbmc and such.
