i can only describe my first use of boxee has s dismal failure. granted i was using it under snow leopard but there were two issues that make the program distinctly unfriendly to use.

when boxee fires up you have to login. why? what if i’m only going to access local content? is it for the “social networking” aspect? if so what if i don’t want to get or send any recommendations? dumb idea, i expect when it gets out of beta there will be workarounds from people who feel the same way.

and speaking of local content why do these media aggregators make it so hard to get at your local content? ok i didn’t read any boxee docs but it should have been relatively intuitive to set and use a local directory.

plex makes you jump through a few hoops also. but works for the local content.

and front row doesn’t even let you.
