There are some good instructions out there including:

I decided I wanted to install Kodi as a media player. This can be found here: with complete and very well written instructions. The final step to really have control over the Boxee is to install the latest hack. When you save this configuration, you should magically get past the networking step and now you can create a User Profile.

DNS – 192.168.1.2 (notice how this matches above!!!)Ĭreate User Profile.

Hopefully you know enough about your network to enter these values. This will move you to a screen where you can enter IP, Subnet, Gateway, and DNS. Now that you have a DNS server running, select the option to “manually configure the network” on your Boxee. Here is a link to his blog where he describes the setup. If you don’t know Docker, (or otherwise don’t want to use this approach) you can also use the public server hosted by Nicholas Serra to achieve the same result. If you have trouble, just smoosh everything onto one line:ĭocker run -d -name dnsmasq -p 53:53/udp -p 5380:8080 -p 80:80 -log-opt "max-size=100m" -e "HTTP_USER=boxee" -e "HTTP_PASS=box" -e "EXTERNAL_IP=192.168.1.2" -restart always hazward/boxee-server NOTE: The backslashes are meant to allow the various args to run on new lines. A web interface for the DNS server will be running at and the credentials will be HTTP_USER and HTTP_PASS. Make sure to change the EXTERNAL_IP value to the IP of the machine that will be running the server. Launch the Docker image of a small DNS server created by HazWard This step involves creating an account, downloading and installing and finally running Docker.

When you get this IP, you choose Manual Configuration on your Boxee at that startup screen and enter the IP as the DNS server. Essentially you need an IP address of a server that will give that heartbeat response to the Boxee when it pings the specific URLs. This step is a bit harder especially if you are not very technically savvy.

The Boxee Box will then reboot with the logo in orange.Īfter the Recovery Menu appears, connect your thumb drive to the Boxee Box, wait 2 seconds, choose Reset all Settings and then select Upgrade from USB from the menu, and follow on-screen instructions. Power on the Boxee Box by pressing and holding the power button for 5-10 seconds. Make sure to properly eject the thumb drive after copying the file. The downloaded file will be named boxee.iso, and that name must be retained.Ĭopy the boxee.iso file to a thumb drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS. Steps are:ĭownload the latest Boxee Box firmware.Here is one potential link. I decided that the first thing to do was to get things up to a point where I could get the hacks installed. The only way around this is to get those URLs to respond to establish a connection.

Samsung took the Boxee servers offline this past year and so no heartbeat is ever established. During the Boxee boot sequence, it calls out to a specific set of URLs (*.). At this point, you are pretty much screwed. Your firmware is something like 0.9xxxx and your Boxee is now stuck at a screen saying that the LAN connection and/or wireless connection isn’t working. In my troubleshooting efforts, I decided to go ahead and do a Factory Reset – BIG MISTAKE! The following guide outlines the steps I took to bring this cute little toy back from the dead! So last weekend I found my old Boxee Box on a shelf in the basement and I decided to try and get it back up and running.
