I have a lot of projects I want to do but trying to keep tabs on them is one of my biggest problems. I’ve tried many different things (task pads, project managers, email), but nothing seems to work.
I figured maybe the best thing to do was to continue posting about where I am and where I’m going with my projects. It would keep those that use the things I make up-to-date as well helps me figure out what I need to work on.
So, here’s the first (BIG) update on my projects. Read more…
A few months back, I announced that I would be stopping work of the GameTrailers.com RSS app for Boxee due to personal issues. Realizing I was being a total wuss and had a nice thing people liked, I decided it was time to bring it back to life. Only one thing: It isn’t the same as before.
Previously, I discussed how the GameTrailers.com RSS feeds can are manipulated to output just about any kind of media from the GameTrailers.com web site for use in your Boxee application. Pulling in the feed into your Boxee app is just one thing as the feed itself is also just as powerful with gobs of juicy information just waiting to be displayed in your app. Read more…
The heart and soul of GameTrailers.com RSS is its RSS Feed (hence the “RSS” in the app’s title). And that RSS Feed is much easier to manipulate than one may think.
That pretty much sums up the status of the next version of GameTrailers.com RSS.
When testing new versions of Boxee apps, I make it a point to do so locally and not save anything to live servers. So, I enable the <test-app> tag in my Boxee apps and store them directly in the apps folder of Boxee’s Application Support folder. It’s quick and easy and does what I need.
While installing the latest version of the Boxee Beta, I felt I needed to do a clean install since it’s been a while since I’ve done so. This meant removing any and all Boxee files, folders, and support files. You might see where this is going.
ABC News Local is beginning its transition to ABC News with the major/minor 0.2 release of the Boxee application.
ABC News provides the top stories from local ABC Owned and Operated stations, just like before, but now also offers top stories from ABC News. This release also provides a new design and layout. This new design will allow for the planned feature of being able to narrow down news to specific categories.
As I mentioned in a previous post, a new version of ABC News Local was in the works. So much work has occurred, I feel the app will qualify for a major version number upgrade. But that’s not the only upgrade happening.
Just wanted to let the Boxee community know I’ve finally got a little more inspiration as to how the next version of ABC News Local will work. The picture above is the latest mockup design of what it will look like.
After some tinkering, GameTrailers.com RSS is now available in HD (when available).
As of now, GameTrailers.com RSS will be available as two separate apps (GameTrailers.com and GameTrailers.com HD) until I can find a better means of selecting between SD and HD content.
For those that were unable to add GameTrailers.com RSS to the My Apps section, this bug has been fixed. There was a version mismatch issue between the one in the app’s descriptor.xml and the repository’s index.xml.
