The Boxee Beta
We are very excited to unveil the Boxee Beta. It is a big step in the evolution of Boxee, but rather than bore you with sentimental prose about how the path we took to get here, I wanted to dive right into what's new with the Beta release.
Home Screen:
We've completely re-designed the home screen to make it easier to navigate to your favorite content. We've pulled the menu out from the side and put it front and center. Below is your hub for recommendations and content; See recommendations from friends on boxee, Facebook or Twitter (Feed), recommendations from Boxee's staff and partners (Featured) and the latest episodes from your favorite shows or things you've saved for later (Queue).
Global Menu:
This is one of our favorite additions to the Beta – the global menu. This menu makes it easy to access helpful resources (TOP – Logout, Settings, Queue, Feed, History), the main menu (MIDDLE – Photos, Music, Movies, Home, TV Shows, Apps, Files) and shortcuts (BOTTOM) to your favorite Apps, TV Shows, Movies, or folders.
TV Shows & Movies:
We overhauled Movies and TV shows to include both Internet and local content; If you know what it is you want to watch, we'll show you where you can find it and start playing it immediately – no need to go through an App. Not sure what you're in the mood for, we've made it easy to browse a ton of popular movies from the Internet by selecting the Movie library.
We've put a special focus on TV Shows to better organize what you can watch. Boxee now organizes TV shows by season and episode, and let's you filter by whether freely available or not, so once you've seen all the free episodes you can decide if that DVD is worth it.
Queue:
