This is a plugin for The Big Picture, a photo journalism blog I enjoy.
EDIT: I could use help finding a better thumb for this. The one there now is the one from boxee, but if anyone would be so kind as to make a new thumb/icon with transparencies instead of the sharp edges of the current one, I'd be very grateful.
There may be an issue on XBOX where the description does not show. If anyone experiences this on XBOX or any other platform, please let me know.
Also on XBOX, I had a lot of memory related issues. The pictures are quiet large, so I don't think there is anything that can be done about it.

Quote: The Big Picture is a photo blog for the Boston Globe/boston.com, entries are posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by [EMAIL="ataylor@Boston.com"]Alan Taylor[/EMAIL]. Inspired by publications like Life Magazine (of old), National Geographic, and online experiences like MSNBC.com's Picture Stories galleries and Brian Storm's MediaStorm, The Big Picture is intended to highlight high-quality, amazing imagery - with a focus on current events, lesser-known stories and, well, just about anything that comes across the wire that looks really interesting.Screenshots:

This script was based on one done by team BOXEE (boxee.tv | ).
black.png, left.png, right.png, and default.tbn are from the original BOXEE App
main.xml is based on the one in the original BOXEE app.
The rest was done by rwparris2.
Also on XBOX, I had a lot of memory related issues. The pictures are quiet large, so I don't think there is anything that can be done about it.
