Where this a will, there's a way:

So with the recent news and events about Hulu content being taken off of Boxee because Hulu's content partners can't get their heads out of their butts and realize we don't live in 1993 anymore, I've decided to release an ALPHA, repeat, ALPHA version of a plugin/feed for Boxee that I've been working on in my spare time.

My plugin is not a replacement for Hulu per say, but rather an additional way to watch all your favorite TV Shows online. It contains a large enough selection of content that it will hopefully hold you over until Hulu returns to Boxee. The videos play from many different sources all over the web.

Some of the sources are: Veoh, YouTube, Google Video, Tudou, 56.com, Guba, Hulu, MegaVideo, YouKu, Tu.tv

NOTE 1: Not all of the videos inside this plugin will play, the sites listed above work just fine, but most others just aren't finished yet.

NOTE 2: A lot of the vids will play automatically, if they don't for some reason, press play a few times and the vid should start up.

- OR -

NOTE: These steps apply to people using Boxee on Mac OS X only

Download this zip file: tvlibrary.zip

Extract it into a folder called "tvlibrary"

Move this new "tvlibrary" folder into this folder: /Username/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/apps/

Find the "sources.xml" file and open it in a text editor. It can be found here: /Username/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UserData/profiles/username/sources.xml

Look for the "<video>SOURCES</video>" block and add this into it:

Save the file, quit Boxee, re-open Boxee.

Go To Video > Internet and run your new option.

The main view of shows inside the TV Library plugin. (NOTE: A LOT of the interface is UNFINISHED, INCOMPLETE and plain 'ol DOES NOT work. This is because TV Library is a hobby project so far for me and I haven't had time to put everything I want into the plugin just yet. It WILL be very polished and full-featured once I'm done. I'm only releasing it early (now) because of the recent Hulu/Boxee developments.)

A show's view in TV Library, again like I said, working but obviously unfinished.

An episode's view in TV Library, again, unfinished.

Open Boxee and go into Settings > Media Sources & Applications

Click "Add Source Manually"

Give the source a name, i.e. "TV Library"

For the source's url, put this exactly: "rss://thejakemarsh.com/boxee"

Check the "Video" option.

Click Done, you should see a "Media Source Successfully Added" notification.

Open up Video > Internet and click on your new option.

The "Big List" Of Shows (NOTE: The list can hang for a few seconds upon the first load because of the sheer volume of shows in the list. The plugin/app version of TV Library does NOT have this performance problem.)

The view inside of show, the list of episodes.

The view of a single episodes and its list of ways to watch it.

Please let me know your thoughts, love, suggestions, hate, support requests (which I'll do my best to answer), etc. in the comments of this post or just @reply me on twitter, I'm @jakemarsh. Thanks for supporting television over the internet, and thanks for trying out my plugin.
