Hulu will not let me watch a rated r movie like "GO". I cannot figure out how to change my age on the profile so that it lets me watch rated r content. Anyone???

1. when i use hulu it wont let me stream in HD (in windows version)so the resolution is very bad when i use boxee
2. in hulu when you use their site you have an option under TV-> Browse, to do it by network, this is a lot easier to work with because they have so many shows.
2. pause button doesnt always work

Just to let you know if you get the black screen on start up of boxee 95% of the time you can get out of it by pressing menu a few times, I normally find that if I press menu 2-3 times then wait for about 30-40 seconds (feels like forever) then the atv returns to the atv menu. Not the best solution but you don't have to get off the couch to do it.

Still praying that someone can figure out how to get Hulu video to play cleanly on the AppleTV. The most recent update was an improvement but still not good enough to watch without getting hopelessly distracted.

As some have already suggested when I try to open Boxee on AppleTV, I get a black screen, and have to unplug and plugin the AppleTV manually to get the AppleTV menu and then to Boxee.

Also, with some many updates to Boxee it would be nice when you go to the Update screen, that it would be evident which software updates are not installed (or conversely, which already have been installed). Thanks!

If the Boxee team can get Netflix to run on ATV. That would be amazing!
Look at the specs. For Mac you need to have an Intel machine running Silver Light. Granted that the ATV falls into the first requirement. Silver Light requires a minimum of 512MB of RAM. The ATV only ships with 256MB of RAM.

If you're familiar with Microsoft, then you know they are very messy with their work. Usually ending up with bulky programs that are intensive and slow at best.

It sounds like you have all of the key issues on that list.

I'll be watching for the announcement of the next release this week very closely !

Great,

Good to see that you are going to make progress.

sorry you feel this way. we know it has some issues (as the original post pointed out, we are working on them), but the experience you are describing is far from what we've been hearing so far.

please try to do a complete reinstall of boxee.

1. restore to factory - menu+minus at boot time, language selection, restore.
2. update to latest atv
3. create a new atvusb stick getting latest and greatest from http://code.google.com/p/at...
4. patch atv, update launcher, update boxee

contact me at tsella boxee tv for any assistance.

this is a known issue (sadly). we are looking to solve it by beginning of next year (that's not too far away, i hope..)

This latest release is horrific. Aside from the black screen and having to kill multiple PIDs of dropbear and XBMC that seem to be orphaned, my vide to audio sync is worse than ever. Playing an avi file that isn't 720p throttles my CPU to 90-100% the entire time. Something went awry...

agreed, will be solved.

PLEASE>>>>>> make the menu button work properly when 2.1 or 2.2 are used. As of the last version "menu" takes you to the main screen. "Hold Menu" takes you up one level. I can't tell you how many times I've quit using boxee out of frustration. I've started using xbc just to avoid this very irritating bug.

i've tested and confirmed it working. login at hulu.com and set to automatically enable closed captions. under boxee, login to your hulu profile, and anything with cc will show them.

This happens if you setup an rss feed to a youtube video. I just tried it with the youtube plugin and it does not come up paused.

The exact thing I was playing was a rss feed to the "Rick Mercer" youtube channel.

i've yet to see such a stream. can you provide with a sample link?

Re: boxee blog » week of Dec 15th - bug fixing version

tom sella — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:42:59 -0000

we used to have adultswim in our rss directory, but that feed is dead. i looked around but could not find a live feed. why not email them, ask them to support it?

we have a ticket regarding the suspend.

i've opened a ticket regarding the dim on pause.

we have an open ticket regarding the login thumb. its stored once in the client side.

we have an open task for third party remotes with atv. i imagine it will come from the boxee/xbmc community at some point if we don't do it first. you are welcome to try by hacking system/keymap.xml

I just had a hell of a time trying to pause CSI: Miami via the CBS portal on my aTV. Once I realized the show wouldn't pause, it took me another 2-3 minutes to get the menu overlay off my screen.

If you try to play a utube video and the video comes up paused you can nolonger play the video because the play/pause does not seem to be being passed to the utube video anymore.
In past versions there was a problem that boxee and the utube video would be in opposite states, aka utube is paused but boxee is playing or utube is playing but boxee thinks it is paused, but you could get it to play and there was a work around for getting them in sinc.

Here is a link to the posts where is was discussed.
