Boxee for PC Receives its Final Update
Wed Dec 28, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Boxee, Boxee Box, HTPCs (all tags)
User interface fixes, better network and file support mark the end of official Boxee software.
It's a sad day for HTPC owner,s as Boxee - one of the big influencers in the space - is pulling the plug on the program. Today's 1.5 patch will be the final one issued by Boxee.
The patch itself isn't anything too significant. It gives some better network and file support as well as an improved interface but nothing big. Boxee says the program is at around 85% of the functionality of the Boxee Box but due to licensing issues there's not much else they can do.
Andrew Kippen talks directly to HTPC users in the post on the Boxee Blog. "Thank you for all your support," he writes. "We would not be where we are today without you. But we can’t stay here."
