RT @marktucker: Video: Creating a "Hello World" app for Boxee: #boxee

After setting up your media sources Boxee will start to retrieve artwork and information from online databases, based on how your media files are named.
There is a specific way you must name your movie files and your TV shows and episodes for a the function to work correctly.

Boxee is an open platform, inviting people to write new applications for it. Some of the Boxee applications were written and published by the Boxee team, but the rest are being published by the growing community of Boxee users.

This is a step by step guide to writing your first Boxee app. This is basically how I got started, so I hope it helps.

My resolution ended up being at the TV. My Philips had a setting called “Unscaled” that did the 1:1 pixel mapping that you mentioned. For others reading this, I am not terribly happy with the Philips. It is a FullHD, 1080p 1920×1080 TV and the quality from the PC is still isn’t that great.

Some notes on turning a beige box into a boxee powerhouse. Kinda challenges my Tivo / pyTivo / NAS setup. I'm thinking the Dell Zino HD might make a better machine (pricewise at least) but some quick googling didn't turn up much video card info.
