Default Boxee Releases New Alpha Update

http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/07/...le-tv-released/

"Do-it-all media software Boxee just got a new update that should have Apple users jumping for joy. It incorporates elements from recent test releases and is now relatively bug-free compared to early antecedents. Those elements include Hulu and Pandora integration, as well as other App Box releases."

In the ongoing battle, this update fixes the Hulu problem, at least until it is broken again. They are using the new XULRunner browser to get around Hulu's playback limitation. This will also enable Boxee to play any video you can find by adding URLs with video RSS feeds as the source. This also supports Pandora, PBS and RadioTime. There has also been a public release of the official API so that anyone can develop plug-ins for the software. I need to get on the stick and hack my AppleTV.
