Boxee cloned server updates, working server information, options to keep your box alive
Several people have been working on cloning the boxee.tv servers since they were taken down, in an effort to restore functionality to everyone's Boxee Boxes. Happy to say that as of today there are multiple implementations out there, and that my public hosted version of this is online and available to use.
Quick rundown:
Bringing a Boxee Box back from the dead STEP-BY-STEP
Bringing a Boxee Box 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. 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!

Boxee hack in 2022
I think I finally gave up on this piece of crap today. I have had it for YEARS and everytime it struggled with finding SMB server on Windows. Sure sometimes after 10x reboot of Windows + Boxee etc. it could be found. I have put countless hours trying to get this thing to find the server reliably. (even though other devices could find it perfectly fine)
Now with the "No access to the internet" since they stopped paying for their pinging-server (I could still browse the net via the browser with Boxee) I am done.. I tried to factory reset but now it doesn't want to boot into the menu anymore due to lack of internet connection (keep in mind that both wired and the wireless works) Sure I can do the DNS hack.. but that doesn't fix the fact Boxee always struggles to find the server in question.

New cloned Boxee IP address
ATTENTION: New cloned Boxee IP address
Unfortunately I had to reset the IP address on my boxee clone instance. This should be the only time this happens.

D-Link Boxee Box
Boxee Box
Boxee Box by D-Link (officially "D-Link Boxee Box DSM-380") is a Linux-based set-top device and media extender that first began shipping in 33 countries worldwide on 10 November 2010. Designed to easily bring Internet television and other video to the television via Boxee's software, it comes pre-installed with Boxee media center software. The hardware is based on the Intel CE4110 system-on-a-chip platform (that has a 1.2 GHz Intel Atom CPU with a PowerVR SGX535 integrated graphics processor), 1 GB of RAM, and 1 GB of NAND Flash Memory. The DM-380 features an HDMI port (version 1.3), optical digital audio (S/PDIF) out, an RCA connector for analog stereo audio, two USB ports, an SD card slot, wired 100 Mbit/s (100BASE-T) ethernet, and built-in 2.4 GHz 802.11n WiFi.
D-link Boxee Box Internet doesn't work
I had boxee+ hacks once upon a time and accidentally did a reset and then updated to v.1.5.1.23735-b6a5be1 Even though I'm connected to a DNS server and have a green boxee i cannot access any web page or get subtitles etc. What is wrong?
Help: My Boxee+ Hacked Boxee Box reverted to Factory defaults mode
Hey has anyone ever had a hacked Boxee Box just, for no reason, revert to being as if it's brand new? Mine has done this today, yesterday it was fine, turned it on and it booted up. But today I turn it on and it's booting into standard Boxee Box load screen and asking to pick a language!!
Have I basically lost everything on it?

GETTING BOXEEBOX ROOT AND MAKING IT USEFUL AGAIN
When it was released just three years ago, the Boxee Box – a set-top box designed to run the Boxee HTPC environment – was a pretty cool little device. Even though it was somewhat crippled from the get-go, the Boxee Box had a lot of neat features including a remote with a QWERTY keyboard, the ability to stream media over a home network, and automatic scraping of IMDB for proper info for all your torrented media. Team Boxee recently left for Samsung, http://www.boxee.tv/ and the severs have been shut down, but that doesn’t mean your Boxee Box has outlived its usefulness. Here’s a few hacks to get your Boxee Box up and running again, sent in by [Ryan].

D-Link Boxee Box Netflix app
has anyone come up with a method to update the Netflix app? Issue I’m having since Netflix went to version 4.0 (BOXEE is 3.0xx) Dolby Digital Is no longer available. Just curious if anyone found a way to do this. Thanks – BTW, Dolby Digital and DTS work just fine with all other sources.
Wiki Boxee
This page will be dedicated to a general overview, descriptions, and information related to the Boxee media player.
The Boxee Box (DSM-380) is made by D-Link and features an Intel CE4100 SOC (Intel Atom CE4170).
It is quite similiar in function to that (security wise) of the Logitech Revue, or Gen 1 Sony Google TV boxes.

In June 2019 the Boxee Box control servers at boxee.tv were taken offline. This application functions as a simple replacement for the boxee.tv application, restoring only enough functionality for normal use of a Boxee Box.
New Boxee behaviour post Boxee cloud server shutdown.
Since the shutdown, there's been no Netflix, no apps, but I've been using it successfully as a local media player.
Five minutes ago, turned it on, after I used the power button on the boxee to shut it down a couple of hours ago, and there's been a new 'saying' that's been popping up.
"Something something, failed to connect, something something after establishing connection back on the internet."
Which is fine.
But again, just turning it on, it went to the 'user' screen, and I had two user accounts (bought it that way, no idea as to actual passwords or whatever).
There used to be two user accounts, both with generic person avatars, now I have one that is a skull. Won't connect.
Luckily? the other account still works. Not sure of any sort of new server activity, but the next thing I have definitely done is block all internet access for the boxee.
I just can't risk some sort of server kill code wiping out the remaining working account.
I had that alternate DNS hack still active as a DNS on my router, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with this recent change, but I'm not going to risk it.

Samsung willfully disabled these boxes
What I find astonishing is that Samsung willfully disabled these boxes. Surely a patch to locally emulate server handshake would have been politic rather than just switch the server off arbitrarily? My Iomega box would have been crippled without the ability to handshake with your server, leaving me without the ability to play my collection.
Boxee Box at Value Village
Anyone want a Boxee Box that stopped being supported in 2012, without a power cord, for $30? Value Village has you covered.
Don't throw your Boxee Boxes away just yet
Yesterday I started sniffing traffic from my Boxee Box in hopes of developing a fake boxee server to replace the official servers that just went down. But then I thought maybe someone has already done this. Turns out "cigamit", who used to help with Boxee Hacks and ran boxeed.in forums, was already working on this years ago.
