Bad timing I suppose. I upgrade the link when I get a chance to run it on my own machine and upgrade. Literally went and updated the link about 24 hours before you guys started to complain, in that time the next version was posted. I’m sitting here on my phone thinking everyone is smoking crack, and of course boxee.tv is too complicated for the android browser to navigate properly.

Just posted the next link, enjoy. Also if you download the latest boxee dmg and put in the same directory as the script it will install that one instead, something to keep in mind next time you get to updating before I get around to updating my link.

When did you do this, I just updated the link to the latest boxee. You should run the script with the “latest” flag that should grab the latest version of everything.

i followed the instructions. when i start boxee from the launcher menu it still starts the old version. when i launch “Boxee.app” from the nito application menu all i get is a long wait and a Finder restart.

This works two ways, if you download the newest version and put it it /User/frontrow it will override the download and install. Also if the link has been updated so it will download the latest.

Guys, this is great work I love the beta on my apple tv…
it’ s still hanging from time to time when I scan the network for media though… hope the new build fixes that…
If I run the script again today would I get the latest Boxee Beta (0.9.20.10708) announced yesterday?
thanks

Hmm, the script actually has the ability to detect the absence of wget and installs it from a binary on my own site. You might want to remove wget and scp the script to your ATV and just run it and let it take care of this itself. That looks okay, so i’m sure why would get the permission problem after.
