installed the updated version of boxee on imac which hopefully must have over-written the old version,but hulu wont show up on imac.
it displays <play> and <read more> but no MOVIES and TV SHOWS.

All other features of boxee work great on imac. I like Boxee on iMac. This is my first experience of boxee on imac after playing with boxee on atv for almost a month now!.
searched the forums, to find changing sources.xml (but it was not clear to me-newbie).
am i missing something?
Please help,thanks in advance.

hi baksharp

it looks like the source file was not updated properly ,you will need to delete your profile and run boxee again.

location of your profile is :

~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE/UseraData/Profiles/<username>

Hi Marcel,
deleted the profile in finder. re-installed boxee.dmg pkg.
but no new profile is created. went into boxee to find that all my settings have gone.
what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance,
baksharp.

nevermind,it works now!.
got a clue looking at
http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=873&highlight=sources.xml
basically, had to do 2 things:
- renamed my profiles <username> to something else.,deleted my sources.xml file(which is really not needed if you renamed your <username> profile.
- edited my profile.xml file and removed my user info (ithink 3 things, name,directory,user),saved it.
then ran boxee again,to find my user name disappeared. Then added new user.
- that created my new profile and a new sources.xml file
- and everything is working fine!.
thanks.
