Every movie must be in its own folder. Within that folder next to the video files there must be a file called fanart.jpg. Your movie folder should typically look like this:
Movies +- [MovieName] +- [MovieName].nfo +- [MovieName].mkv +- folder.jpg +- fanart.jpg
For TV Shows every TV Show must be in its own folder. And every episode must be in a separate Season folder for the season it is in. The fanart.jpg must then be placed in the main TV Show folder. Your TV Show folder should typically look like this:
TVShows +- [TVShowName] +- tvshow.nfo +- folder.jpg +- fanart.jpg +- Season 1 | +- [TVShowName] 1x01 - [Title].mkv | +- [TVShowName] 1x01 - [Title].tbn | +- [TVShowName] 1x01 - [Title].nfo | +- ... +- Season 2 | +- ... +- ...
First check:
- Your USB stick should be formatted and named BOXEE (all uppercase). Also make sure you use at least FAT32 or NTFS and NOT FAT (also known as FAT16)
- Did you put the content of the install folder on the USB disk? And not the entire install folder
- Did you make any typos on the Boxee Box? You should add the hack string (;sh /media/BOXEE/install.sh) to your hostname. So if your hostname is "boxeebox" (the default) then you should change it into "boxeebox;sh /media/BOXEE/install.sh"
- Make sure you enabled the "Enable Windows file sharing" checkbox
If it still doesn't work:
- Did the Boxee logo on the box turn red? If not, there is something still wrong with your USB stick
- If the logo did turn red, then check if your Boxee Box is connected to the internet. This is required to get the latest version
- If all else fails, ask on the forums for help
