Full Version: switching to XBMC from Boxee

I've been using Boxee for Windows for years and about to move to XBMC 11 (for AppleTV black 2nd gen.). My primary reasons for using Boxee (in order or priority) is it gives real episode show titles & show cover art of downloaded TV shows & movies, plays 1080p MKV with subtitles and has that dashboard thingie of videos posted by friends on facebook and twitter. Does XBMC 11 have these features built-in? If no, which addons must I obtain to get at least the first feature?

Thanks in advance
everything but the social crap came from xbmc in the first place.
just to confirm, that's a yes that the first two features are built-in in XBMC 11 for AppleTV black 2nd gen.?

Yep, certainly does

appletv2 will only output the file in 720p though (hardware limitation)

Doesn't have this

Welcome to the dark side (mwah ha ha ha) Smile
