@Dave & @PTTP moonlight currently supports Silverlight 1.0, where netflix requires Silverlight 2.0, so no dice. for now.

Could Boxee use Moonlight to run Netflix on Linux?

Moonlight (runtime) is a free and open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight currently being developed for Linux by the Mono Project with the help of Microsoft.

Can you guys work on adding support for the video content at cartoon network's Adult Swim site??? That would freaking kick-ass.

yesterday i had blissfully connected all the assets on my iMac wirelessly--it would even stream VIDEO_TS smoothly...

today i update, cannot connect to any of my local assets any more at at. ran update again. now i'm trying to see if i need to have the same version on imac as ATV--I dunno.

Yes, I restarted Mr ATV--surely I don't need to run ATVUSB loader again?! Any clues for a fellow boxeeteer?

Where does it say the version number in the program UI itself?

New HULU UI looks fantastic and works well!!!

The newest Boxee is a bit Flakee tho. I've UPDATED it twice and it frequently causes an ATV black screen that won't go anywhere (can't back out, can't go forward -- the remote makes ping sounds, but no luck.) Only an unplug seems to make it operable again... Sigh

"[Hulu]...playback should be greatly improved on Apple TV" Really? Still jerky as ever on my AppleTV.

Hi, awesome job on the new release, it's looking really nice! I'm curious, I saw somewhere recently that Moonlight has been released. As I understand it, Moonlight is an open source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight. I'm wondering if this is the route you guys will take (or maybe even Netflix will take) to get the Netflix stuff working on Linux. I run boxee on an Ubuntu box and would absolutely LOVE to get the Netflix integration there. Anyway, great job, boxee is awesome!

Will Boxee auto update or do I just download the newest version on my own? Thanks

This looks fabulous. One request -- and I can help make this happen if you want because I know them -- wouldn't it be insanely cool if you could support the Hillcrest Lab's airmouse with this (www.hillcrestlabs.com). It uses standard windows mouse drivers, is there a way to enable that over the mouse used by the box? Let me know if you need to talk to them technically, but this would be a huge attention-getter too. I love my Hillcrest box but it needs your software (there's a 'You've got your chocolate in my peanut butter' quote in here somewhere.

Great release guys !!!!
It's shame about Netflix not working on the Apple TV-- oh well. I love the effort you guys but in your blog updates.
Thank you again!! :)

This latest version is amazing. It seems much more smooth than the previous one and the new additions of Netflix and the revamped Hulu is bulls-eye. Glad I get to enjoy the benefit of the early effort on your part.

Ok so I found a bug in the new update. I'm on the latest appletv software and update to the new boxee tonight. When I tried to watch "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" in Hulu it says "We are sorry, but the video you have requested is restricted to users 17 years and older." I'm logged in on the appletv. It will play from the Hulu website though. Same thing with "Starship Troopers." Looks like the login isn't pulling in our account info.

Great work on the update though. I love how much you guys have added to my appletv.

Great release - definitely feels better on both my macs and appletv. One question about the netflix streaming - I don't see any of the TV shows (Heroes as an example) which are in my Instant Viewing queue. Any ideas?

Wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much! For me as a TV on demand via Mac Mini, boxee and Netflix subscriber it is all coming together now! I never subscribed to any regular TV service, I get everything I want on my big screen via the Mac Mini and boxee - you are now free to be entertained :-) Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

OK, so i need help. I updated my appletv. Ran the patchstick which appears to be failing!!! Why is the patchstick failing? It's a clean patchstick....boxee stuff's the only stuff on it.
