This extension allows you to control your Boxee Box (and possibly Boxee TV) from your browser. I am always losing my remote, and I don't like the phone apps.
The project is open source under GPLv3. You can find the code and contribute at https://github.com/pcsforeducation/boxee_remote.
User reviews
It's cool for what it is but I would've like to be able to control via the touch pad on my laptop instead. A little tedious to have to use the navigation buttons.
Works well nonetheless
