Boxee has just updated its application and added a few updates. Hulu had stopped allowing content to be viewed in third party apps and Hulu support broke in Boxee. However, this version of Boxee fixes that. This time Boxee is pulling content from Hulu through RSS. Besides fixing hulu, Boxee has introduced AppBox. Its their first take at an application store that makes it easy for users to install new apps and plugins. I guess this will be the next media store after the iTunes store! They have also included native support for 3rd party repositories, so you don’t have to rely on boxee as a gatekeeper for what goes into the official boxee app store.

Boxee also adds an Auto-updater so that you dont need to fetch updates from their website everytime.

Get the update.

Boxee is a great multimedia platform that provides music, movies, torrent downloads to online streaming, right from its nice little interface. Furthermore, you can even add friends to Boxee and send and receive recommendations. However, Boxee can only be used with your computer (Mac and Linux - Windows in Private Alpha) or with an Apple TV. Its a great option if you have a Mac mini or an Apple TV. But what about the others ?

Boxee has got a solution. Set-top-box providers can sell their box with Boxee pre-installed. In fact, Boxee has got several inquiries recently. But wouldn’t it be even better if you could get a Boxee set-top-box itself?  Well, Boxee is thinking about it and needs your suggestions. Just head to the Boxee blog and let them know what you want.
