Reset boxee box to factory settings8/11/2023 If everything feels sluggish, a factory reset can often restore its performance. Android Box is feeling slow: Installing apps, documents and more on your Android TV box can hurt your TV box’s performance.Often a factory reset will fix this, though you’ll need to set everything up again. Android Box won’t boot up: Sometimes bad things happen and you’ll find your Android TV box won’t boot.There’s plenty of reasons you’d want to go Nuclear and wipe your Android TV box: In this guide, I’ll show you how to reset your Android box to factory settings using two methods. The key to the Boxee Box working for me is going to be depend on what the forthcoming software updates deliver.If your Android TV box isn’t working or you simply want to start everything from fresh, a factory reset is an excellent way of rejuvenating your TV box and making it feel like new. I can’t wait to see those screenshots! They’ve said they’ll add a preference to switch importance to local content, but will that mean Music and Photos return to the main menu? Will I be able to hide the apps and featured content I don’t want that just get in the way? Assuming that they won’t simply revert to the UI style of 0.9, will they improve the 1.0 UI at all? ![]() More bug fixes prioritized based on your reporting and a first batch of usability/UI fixes (will share screenshots and issues being addressed later next week). We are now working on the next version of the firmware. I was watching video from ITV player via the built in browser, as well as playing VC-1 mkv files that even VLC can’t play properly. I’ve found out that you can play online video full-screen - hit menu and press the full screen icon rather than moving the cursor around - but it still feels like unnecessary steps.īoxee seems to be about ‘play anything you want’, and it does do that well. The 1.0 is muddy, basic and feels colder. I stand by my earlier comments - the 0.9 UI was bright, warm and gorgeous. I ‘upgraded’ to the last release ( check out the list of issues attended to already only 2 weeks after the box came out) and I’m back on the v1.0. I found a few missing features with playback (such as no chapters menu) and would be using something that would never get updates. However, as nice an experience it was to use the beta version on the Box, it’s not a situation that can last. I had wondered whether the hardware had caused Boxee to cut back on beta UI, removing transparency and the like, but it all ran fine. It’s just a shame that it caused a regression in functionality in Boxee’s case. It was presumably a switch that Boxee felt they had to make for the best HTML5 support, just as Jolicloud did for it’s v1.0 software. I’ve since learnt that the switch to using WebKit instead of Gecko caused much of this shift with 1.0. ![]() Online videos played full screen, meaning the BBC iPlayer was usable again. The interface looked fantastic, my local content was more important again, music and photos were back in the main menu and there were all the apps that were missing. Once past that, I got to experience what the Boxee Box could’ve been. It didn’t like either a 2.5ghz connection, or a 5ghz, and would only connect to G. The process was surprisingly easy, with the exception of issues connecting to my N wifi network. After using the Boxee Box for a few days, I had the itch to restore it to the factory version of 0.9 and see how that performed.
