First, if you haven't used Boxee you should check it out. Here's a short video demo of exactly what Boxee does and why it's cool:
quick intro to boxee from boxee on Vimeo.
Boxee is a great application. In short, it's a media browser built for your TV--if that doesn't make sense, go back and watch the video :)
Today Boxee is rolling out a new version of their Justin.tv application and I want to tell you about it. First, I want to point out that the first version of the Justin.tv application on Boxee was built 100% without our involvement and is a perfect example of what you can do with our API. We saw it and liked it so much, though, that we wanted to help it grow. First, we added a couple of new API features to allow things like the producers directory to be included. Ike Gilbert, the developer who built the app, also added some great new features like the ability to log into your Justin.tv account and access your favorite channels.
The quality of broadcasts on Justin.tv is rapidly increasing--the average bitrate of Justin.tv broadcasts has increased 25% in the last 3 months! That means this is the best time ever to enjoy Justin.tv on a big screen TV, exactly what Boxee is built for.
Let us know what you think about the app and check out Boxee if you haven't yet. Ike is great to work with and has been very open to feedback, so if you have feature suggestions I'm sure he'll be interested in hearing them.
