![]() and how to access it when you can't activate SSH on the Boxee since it doesn't go past the "Log In" part of the boot process.Īs far as the Boxee.iso file is that the boxee-1.5.iso from the main page or is it from the ISO folder ( ). How do you launch a telnet server, using what program. assuming doing a factory restore deletes the user, then on this box I don't have a user on it. Thinking there was a glitch, I did a factory restore on this. The second one was stuck on the "Log In" screen (this happened about 3 days before my second box lost power). 1 was logged in with a user, but because of a power loss from a storm, when it boots, it goes to the "Log In" screen. not sure why I didn't get any email notifications. Just seen that there was replies on my post. You can break out of that with create facebook user then hit F12 - then ESC when the login fail dialogue pops up. No doubt like everyone you'll be trapped in the login / new user screen. ![]() If you have a profile on the boxee then you are OK however if like me you deleted that you need to run up a telnet session. To get back to the last firmware version just create a fat32 usb then copy the iso from here ( ) to boxee.iso in the root of the USB. ![]() There are a few combinations but all should work - however the above relies on being able to launch a telnet server to do the profile work.įor me Boxee was awesome from day 1 - still is after 10 years can handle media just fine - this week I picked up a working boxee for 1$ because the server issue has put them out of reach for many. I've tested this on two Boxee models without issue. What's more if like me you've deleted your user / done a factory restore it is possible to get back to the last firmware + auto logged in user. What options would work best for my project, and what system (raspian, etc.) would be best?įor anyone just wanting to stick with the last firmware version of boxee and have a profile that loads when offline it is possible. I do have some Blu-Ray DVD's that haven't been copied yet, so a system that can play those and possibly 4K DVD's at a later date would be nice.īoxes/mini pc's/single board pc's I've seen mentioned are: The main purpose of the system (box) would be to play my local content over the network. I'd like it to have the DVD Movie Cover (as shown in the image below), rather than a file tree, for both the Movies & TV Shows. Boxee would put the TV Shows from DVD into the Movies section) (examples are in the images below). I'd also like to have the system separate Movies from TV Shows (and preferably allow me to specify that TV Shows that are from a DVD are to be in the TV Shows section. I'm looking for a system where it can play digital copies of DVD's (VOB, etc.) from a NAS/Network drive. I was hopping to reuse the hardware, since it's suppose to play in 1080p, however I'm not sure what distro, etc that it's running or how to access it. "Learn Linux (this is what I suppose this device is running), and start real hacking and making it work." - I've tried a few things to try to even get Kodi (or something like that on there), but it doesn't seem to load from a USB and trying to do an upgrade, etc. "There's good chance your files are still accessible, with little hacking" - the files are on a NAS drive that the Boxee accessed to play, they weren't stored on the Boxee. What can I do with the system to be able to play my local content, either by a hack or some way to skip the "Internet" connection (since it connects to my local network) and the 'sign in' part? All the links I've seen for putting Kodi on the box seem to be dead links as well. ![]() I'd also like to have it where it shows the information of the movie (or TV show) and also shows the cover. I just want it to play my local content, which mostly consists of DVD rips (of my collection) in a. I did a factory restore on it, however now in the set up for wired it says "An ethernet cord is plugged in, but configuration failed." and wireless says "Wireless network was connected, but Boxee can't connect to the Internet." It seems that within the last week, all the servers had been shut down (I'm assuming). however it was telling me that it was connected to the network, but not the internet. For whatever reason, one of my Boxee Box's (I have 2, both models DSM-380) went to the log in screen.
