Find Boxees endless loop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Are you using Boxee or XBMC?
Boxee on ATV
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Menu
2. Find Boxees
3. If boxee remote does not find a boxee it never times out
4. Hitting the back button will cause the app to become unresponsive, needing a 
force close.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A message after timeout saying that no boxees could be found would be nice

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm looking into this and there are indications that this is a null pointer 
exception. 

I was in the process of tracking the issue down when life interrupted me. I 
will post 
back with more details and perhaps a patch if I can get that far.

Oh, wow, I didn't think you were going to try to fix it! I'll try to take a 
look at
this later, but I think you're right that I send null if the receive times out 
and
then don't check for null in BoxeeRemote.addAnnouncedServers.

Very cool. I will work with you on this issue. I find this application useful 
and I 
am interested in seeing it mature.

I have the latest revision (R58 at the moment) running in the emulator so if I 
get 
anywhere with a fix I will surely notify you. I also have some other issues in 
the 
application which I want to report and work on.

How would you like to receive code submissions? Should I email a patch, attach 
it as 
a file to this Issue, or what?

It would be great if you can upload it to
http://codereview.appspot.com/, as that makes it easy for me to read
and comment on. You can get a script from
http://code.google.com/p/rietveld/wiki/CodeReviewHelp that uploads a
diff from the svn tree automatically. If that's too much trouble, I
don't mind getting short diffs as a patch.

It was a small patch, so I sent you an email at 
andrew-[at]-andrewchatham-[d0t]-com 
with the patch as an attachment. The subject line is "BoxeeRemote Patch (Issue 
4)"

It is currently running on my phone and doesn't seem to break anything.
