Programming for Boxee

I have been enjoying using Boxee (on Windows) and would like to create an add-on app that provides a menu (readable from 10 ft) of a few internet radio streams (ASX, M3U, PLS).I made an HTML mockup of what I want to do here:
http://ssundaram.com/streams/

I am not a programmer. The closest thing I do to programming is writing SQL. How steep is the learning curve to create a Boxee app? Is it possible to load my own Boxee app or do all apps have to be submitted to Boxee App Library?

thanks,
Sathyan

Judging by the backbone code it was written in (C++), it would be a matter of learning C++ (as far as Boxee OS is concerned) and possible Python (for scripting). I'm not sure what language(s) apps can/cannot be added to Boxee.

Unless you are able to write such an app for what you want, you're probably better off just writing a simple webpage (similar or identical to what you've wrote up in your OP) and use the web page to select the radio stream you want to listen to.
