The Boxee Box is a great piece of hardware. The main thing I use it for is streaming local content from my network. For most of the movies and TV shows, Boxee does a great job of figuring out what it is and downloading information and thumbnails. Occasionally it doesn't work even though the movie/TV show is found on IMDB/TVDB.

In the cases where Boxee messes up, I wrote two scripts to help me create NFO files, one for movies and the other for TV shows:

• create_tv_nfos.py
• create_movie_nfo.py
