I bought a Peendoo running Android 8.1 and it has Kodi / XBMC already installed. Plenty of them on Amazon that work great. Your Boxee Box is dead now, just bury it or recycle it and switch to an Android TV box. Though I doubt that they care, D-Link is pretty much dead in the US and Canada anyways. If you feel like writing, write to D-Link corp in Taiwan and complain vigorously that they killed Boxee Box completely just to be cheap bastards and you will never buy any D-Link network product again and tell your friends not to also.
#BOXEE BOX XBMC INSTALLABLE HOW TO#
There are some sites claiming to explain how to Hack Boxee to run pure Linux and consequently XBMC, but it means doing trace cuts on the circuit board and that just isn't something 99% of hobbyist can do. I say BS as this claim has been made for the last 3 to 4 years and no one has done so. Some clowns on the Reddit Boxee site "Claim" that they /he can resurrect a "cloned" D-Link Boxee Box Server.

With that you can't get past the sort of error screen you are stuck at, which means that you can't install Boxee + Hacks and that Hack supposedly allowed you to install XBMC / Kodi ( which I've never been able to get running anyways). D-Link Taiwan turned off the last authentification server that allowed running even without "logging in". You unfortunately "screwed the pooch" by resetting. Root your BB instead with help from Google for a site named "How to obtain root, install and run XBMC on D-Link Boxee Box" 05 Dec, 2013
#BOXEE BOX XBMC INSTALLABLE PATCH#
One other thing the XBMC patch run off a USB 2.0 stick will not work now. The above may be the reason the XBMC USB hack no longer works as Boxee has to login first via a Net connection (even though its a Null connection) and now there is no response. D-Link Taiwan was in charge of that server mgmt and I'm guessing was tired of that couple hundred dollar expense. I need HELP! What am I doing wrong? the Formating of the USB 2.0 Flash Drives, the naming, what !!?įound out the USB has been named "BOXEE" like the Boxee + Hacks, but NO ONE bothered noting that on any XBMC install forum or site.ĭ-Link turned off the last "login" server which is why everyone is now out in left field and BB won't boot. I've freshly formatted 2 USB 2.0 thumb drives to FAT and copied over all the XBMC files, the USB drives are named XBMC, Neither Boxee Box will boot to XBMC, does the usual Boxee OS load, then the Boxee + Hack load and then the "Red Face" can't log in a dilemma. So now I've tried to install the last version on XBMC on but a Rev A1 and a Rev B2 Boxee Box (both having Boxee + Hacks install and were running fine till 10 days ago.

I've been fooling around with Boxee Boxes since they came out, one the first to install Boxee + Hack, argued with D-Link execs not to turn off the support server (they value money far more and complained about the expense over screwing over tens of thousands of owners.Īnyway, a little over two weeks ago, all the Boxee Boxes we have now completely refuse to run, balking at the login, which it used to ignore after the servers were turned off.

I have 4 Boxee Box units, a Rev A1, 2-Rev B2 and a Rev B3 (my wife worked for D-Link 18 years, then got laid off.
