This code was created by referencing an existing project by Jimmy Conner ( cigamit, boxeed.in forums). In August 2019 I released a small python Flask app, boxee-server-light, to replace the downed servers.
In June 2019 these application servers went down, resulting in all Boxee Boxes still in operation throwing “Can’t connect to internet” errors and all user profiles and apps going offline.
