Only yellow boxes on all NBC content

[jsl4980]

Hi, I have two Boxee setups at home that have been working very well until today. Whenever I try to watch Heroes, 30 Rock, or any other content from NBC (through NBC not Hulu) I only get the yellow boxes plus audio.

All of this NBC content was working 2 days ago, but today it is only the boxes and eventually the audio of commercials and the show.

Through Boxee I can watch CBS, Hulu, youtube, and most other content just fine. Just having problems with NBC starting today. I can watch content directly from NBC's site in Firefox. Anyone else seeing this or having this problem?

Update 1/26/09: This problem is resolved (for me at least).

Not sure if there is a Boxee server issue or if NBC changed something or what.
What's your Boxee build version?

As usual, I have to say it, be sure you have updated DX and Flash. If not, see the First Stop link in my sig. I have all the windows updates needed there.

But given the sudden playback change, something must have changed at NBC's site or something.

I'm using the public beta 0.9.20.10261 on both machines. I have updated Direct X and Flash and drivers on my Nvidia ION machine. My other laptop has integrated Intel graphics so I haven't updated Flash on that one, but Boxee was working perfectly on both until this evening.

OK, well that narrows things down to a Boxee network or NBC network/feed change. The other night Fox was down as Boxee was recaching their servers. Could be related??? Check it tomorrow evening and see if it's smoothed back out.

I'll have to ask Team Boxee about it.

Just checking in to give a +1 to this issue. And to add that I run boxee on a mac mini platform

Same here on an AppleTV running beta.

Oddly, I've not gotten my answer yet. Still waiting.

This bug seems to be fixed now.

Unfortunately the video quality for NBC streams and directly from NBC.com looks terrible. The colors look much worse than Hulu.com. Not sure what they changed, but things that are supposed to be colored black look gray and everything is pretty pixelated. Oh well we still have hulu...
