Im running Snow Leopard and the newest Beta and when watching videos (most of them hosted on Hulu, i havent seen one so far that wasnt) I get the little progress bar on the bottom of the video showing me how far i am in the video. I cant seem to find any setting to remove it, can you please help me..

it happens sometimes. what happens when you delete your userdata folder and try again?

So silly me, i actually didnt have the latest beta... I upgraded and watched a video, it just went away... I'll def try that next time but now the issue is (almost every video) mid way through i'll get a "Sorry this video is currently unavailable"

Is there a fix for that?

BTW: Thanks!

There have been some users having issues with HULU and NBC on Windows7... you're the first, as far as as I know on OSX... Let me do sometesting and get back...

::edit::

I'm unable to replicate on OSX... Able to play fantastic 4

For other Windows users, it seems to be a problem with the boxee servers not properly clearing a user's cache


if you try deleting the cache folder, it should work....
Users > [Username] > Library > Application Support > Boxee > UserData> Cache

One running OS X Leopard and one running Snow Leopard. I believe I have the latest build.

It's happening while playing videos through Netflix.

I'm seeing a similar issue oon XP. I have a sticky bar on the bottom of the screen, it usually appears to be from Hulu. If I press pause the video pauses, and the normal bar comes up. I press pause again, the icon changes to play, I press play and the bar goes away.

I'm also having the problem with hulu where part way through the video it'll flips to the "Video Unavailable" screen. This really sucks because I can fast-forward the video in boxee, so the only thing I can do is quit boxee and watch the video from mozilla.

Deleting the cache doesn't appear to help, any other suggestions.

I have the same problems on Windows 7. I've noticed it when watching NetFlix, and I can't seem to get it to disappear unless I restart Boxee, even if I switch to another video source, like a local file. :(
