Just got the beta today, first app I tried was Netflix and unfortunately it doesn't work. I can access the app and browse titles normally, but if I try to play anything all I get is a blank white screen with normal audio.
Specs:
Windows XP SP3
Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT
2GB RAM
GeForce 7600GS 256MB (AGP)
SB Audigy LS
latest Silverlight

I just noticed the bug report on it (should have looked at Jira first), I was really hoping it was just me.

Yea I'm having a problem with Netflix too on my WinXP and Windows 7 systems. Both show a red screen with "Connecting to Netflix" on it, and I can hear the audio. I hope they fix this soon.

I seem to have the same issue with all local media. Is anyone else having this issue?

windows XP is an issue we are aware of ..vista and 7 are new . Have you installed silverlight? Can you play Netflix via browser?

I got this problem after I installed the flash 10.1 beta. All the flash based web stuff is now just a white screen sometimes sound sometimes no sound. (XP 32bit)

Flash shouldn't have anything to do with it, Netflix uses Silverlight.

I have only one issue with Netflix in Boxee. My audio issue happens when I start a show in the Netflix app. The audio changes devices from 'digital out' to 'line out'. I am able to change it back, but the bug returns each time Netflix app is restarted.
