This is the official wiki for the boxee-source aur package; it should contain reasonably up to date information on its status and on workarounds to get things running in specific environments. Please feel free to add useful information in this regard to this page, and if you do, remember to credit yourself in the contributors section below.

== About boxee-source ==
 
−
The Boxee media center @ http://www.boxee.tv/ is both open source and by far the most advanced and featureful mediaplayer available for linux. Unfortunately, the sourcecode does not compile properly against archlinux or 64bit, and even worse, there is no functioning 'make install' to easily seperate the unused chunks of xbmc and sourcecode from the actual package. To remedy this, a small group of us have been working hard to maintain our own patchset and installation script (built against the official ubuntu releases' file structure) that allows the latest boxee to compile in archlinux on both 32 and 64bit.

=== Issues Compiling ===

==== NVIDIA (binary) ====
 
−
If you are using the nvidia binary driver, then compiling boxee-source will give you the following error: "configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (size_t)". To get around this error, you must compile the package as root:
 
−
* 'makepkg' -> 'sudo makepkg -asroot'
 
−
* 'yaourt' -> 'sudo yaourt -S boxee-source'
 
−
=== Issues Running ===
 
−
==== ATI ====
 
−
An up to date xorg/ati installation reportedly breaks boxee, and the only known fix right now is to downgrade libgl and ati-dri to 7.4.4

== Quick Start Guide ==
 
−
 
 
−
This assumes i686 architecture.  If you're using 64bit, I can't help you.
 
−
 
 
−
1. install yaourt, it's much easier.  Follow the guide HERE: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
 
−
 
 
−
2. yaourt -S boxee-source OR if you have nvidia binary  it MUST be sudo yaourt -S boxee-source.  Maybe it'll even install all the dependencies for you!  That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
 
−
 
 
−
3. To save you what may have been hours looking in vain for the command to start the fracking program, it is 
 
−
 
 
−
/opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop
 
−
 
 
−
4. Also, if you receive errors related to the following files, you can fix it with symbolic links, whatever they might be:
 
−
 
 
−
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.2 /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2
 
−
 
 
−
and
 
−
 
 
−
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d
 
−
 
 
−
5.  If you get a segmentation fault, uh...
 
−
 
 
−
You could try removing the libgl driver?  I replaced mine with nvidia and didn't get this error anymore.  But possibly the error was unrelated to libgl.  Maybe I wrote a crappy xorg.  Or something.
 
−
 
 
−
6.  Consult the boxee source page on the AUR if you have further problems.  Maybe you need to download some extra libraries or something?  Who knows?
 
−
 
 
−
7.  Please, someone, make this guide better!

== Known Issues ==
 
−
=== 64bit flash support (hulu/monty python etc) ===
 
−
The flash player provided with boxee is released only in binary format. After a great deal of work and waiting, boxee-source finally supports flash content in 32bit, however; to support 64bit we need to wait for the boxee team to release 64bit binaries, and sadly there hasn't been much talk in this direction.

A small warning to all that the room is empty more often than not, but when its not you can find us @ #boxee-source on irc.freenode.net
