Fox NBC & ABC problems....

[paragonconcept]

So ive been playing with the beta. I cant seem to get any of the broadcast stations to work, Fox and NBC specifically.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10

All my local media seems to work fine.

Hulu works fine....

NBC just goes to the peacock, and then never leaves. The peacock keeps changing colors.

ABC says platform not supported.

Fox turns my screen white, and seems to hang boxee. I have to kill the PID to exit...

Also where are the new log files located?

I believe that they use the Move Networks plug in and that is causing some issues. Some Windows users have installed the plug in via their browsers and claimed that it works when it did not work at all previously.

I can tell you that in my Revo, NBC works but it's laggy. Fox does not work at all. FX plays, but it does not full screen. All of which are on Hulu, which plays nicely.

All of this is being worked out for all the OS's and hope to release it soon. ;)

Not sure if this is the same issue or not, but I'm running r10063 on OS/X and while ABC used to work fine for me before (after installing the Move Networks plugin), it's definitely not working now. In fact, it's the only network that's causing Boxee to hang on me consistently. I get a screen like the following and then Boxee hangs.

Not a huge problem; just wanted to see if this is the same problem and if other people are experiencing it.

Same problems here (except to add: can't resume a hulu stream after pausing it).

This is a known issue and will be resolved in a future build.

BTW, 9.10 or 9.04?

Seems alot of the stream sources are broken. Status here:

FOX - works, but playback sometimes freezes
NBC - forever the flashing peacock
CBS - works
ABC - ? can't find anything direct from ABC

Comedy Central - works
The WB - goes to half black and half white screen
SYFY - goes to black screen
FX - goes to mostly black screeb

Hulu - "Sorry we are unable to stream this video. Please check your internet connection and try again."

Using Boxee 0.9.20.10356 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) 64-bit.

BTW, LOVE the new interface!! Just need working sources now :)

Sources work, just Linux seems to have a seperate issue right now. They hope to resolve these in a future build.
