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.
It’s a little something fun I whipped up overnight using Apple Motion. Every time the crew at the TWiT Network have technical difficulties during their live streams, I immediately think of the Brodyquest theme as it’s quirky and fun. It’s a lot better than dead air.
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.
I am very proud to announce the beta release of an app I’ve been working on for less than a week: ABC News Local.
ABC News Local brings you local news videos from ABC Owned and Operated (O&O) Stations from across the country. You can now get the top news stories from major cities in the US right on Boxee.
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).
