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.
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.
After feeling pretty confident getting a Boxee RSS App working, I figured I’d take on something a little more daunting: creating a Boxee Python App.
I decided to do an ABC News app after seeing ABC 7 News in the App Box. Since ABC 7 an Owned and Operated (O&O) affilate, this would give me a wonderful starting point. I figured if this is able to play video just fine on one of the O&O affiliates, it should work fine on all the others since they’re all the same design and layout (just about).
