Boxee Beta DOA Solutions for MAC!

My last article about the Boxee DOA Beta release has a solution an although it's a relatively easy fix, it should of been more been announced to the general public and it was not or better yet it should been fixed before being released but anyway there is a fix. The following will help those who have not already been helped.

Instructions taken from the website are:

First, make sure you have done a clean install of Boxee.

This means not only uninstalling Boxee, but also deleting/moving your Boxee configuration directory:

on os x (and the apple tv):
~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/

on linux:
~/.boxee/

on windows xp:
c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\BOXEE\

on windows vista/7:
c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\BOXEE\

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
notes:
* on unix-like operating systems '~' means 'users home directory' (ie: /home/[username]/)
* boxee keeps all user-related config info in: 'UserData' (guisettings.xml, advancedsettings.xml, etc)
* boxee keeps all profile-related config info in: '/UserData/profiles/[profilename]/'
[THE BOXEE BETA REQUIRES A CLEAN INSTALL]

After you have done this, if your issue persists, please enable advanced logging, and provide your logs:
