How to resurrect Hulu on your Boxee easily and legally If you are fed up with the whole Hulu Boxee bs, stress no further. The truth is unless hulu bans itself from the internet, I will always be able to watch Hulu on my Boxee. I have been runnin Hulu, CNN, Youtube, Netflicks on both my AppleTV Boxee, Xbox360, and AppleTV for the past month. The solution is “upnp” which is a service you can run on your home pc. What it does is sling any content you want ie web content, content on you hd to any upnp compatibale device. Tversity is one i used for serving media library, while playOn i use for web content. Orb is another notable one but i am not quite familar with it. Say no to BS and don’t let anyone tell you how you should watch your tv. How it Works MediaMall’s PlayOn software is a UPnP digital media server and browser that pulls RSS feeds from content providers, and presents them to DLNA-compliant networked media devices. In plain English, this means you can use your game console or networked television to access content from providers like YouTube, Netflix and Hulu. The PC software pulls in the media streams, in the same way as your web browser, and then sends them directly over your home network to your device, even converting their formats on the fly to make sure the devices can play them. Simple as that. PlayOn leverages the existing browser and UPnP functions of game consoles and networked televisions, and uses the PC in the middle to bring in the content from the Web, passing it over your home network to the device. link to PlayOn

If you own Vestax VCI-300 and would like to pair it with your Macbook Pro, you might have experienced some audio stuttering issue, as well as unable to engage Serato playback via the VCI-300 interface. It was weird when I first encountered this because I had no problems hooking up VCI-300 to my PC. After much scouring of the Vestax forums with no avail, I discovered the issues are associated with insufficient power in the macbook usb. Solution: using a powered usb hub solved the playback issue (tested)turning off wireless solved the stuttering issue (tested) It probably helps to not have a network drive mounted, and instead of a usb hub a power adapter for the vci-300 probably will work too If you are wondering what is Vestax VCI-300 or Serato Itch… The VCI-300 hardware controller integrates perfectly with the Serato ITCH DJ software and comes with a built-in audio interface with standard 4in/4out and headphone connection, larger & lighter JOG wheels, JOG torque adjustment and other features. ITCH hardware provides a tactile mixing control surface and the audio input and output connections. It is the ITCH software that handles all audio mixing and routing for maximum quality and flexibility. This is done using Serato proven technology from beginning to end.

Pig & Dan - Sly Detector

Pig & Dan are made up name of producers Dan Duncan & Igor Tchkotoua (Pig). They met a number of years ago and from there have developed an extremly solid and fruitful partnership. After a few months of producing together they signed a deal with Dutch label, Sadie Records, they began to enter into the market and gain success. This gave the duo a boost and they started to produce two/three tunes a week. They then decided that it would be a good idea to build their own record company ‘Submission’ and work together with Sadie to create a bigger market. The rest is history.

Audio Bullys Featuring Nancy Sinatra - Shot You Down (Album Version) [Explicit]

Audio Bullys have taken taken Nancy Sinatra’s original (immediately recognizable from the recent Kill Bill soundtrack) and used its fearsome atmosphere to play host to one of their most unashamedly dancefloor friendly cuts to date. Laden with wobbly basslines and dropping down to the barest of vocals it has tension, it has outright abandon, and it is undoubtedly one of the finest-crafted bootlegs to have emerged in the past few years. Did we mention it has been approved by none other than the daughter of Frank Sinatra?
