Hey there guys,
I'm having some problems playing videos from Boxee. Firstly, when I try and play a video from my collection, It plays with sound, but has a very strong purple or red overlay, so I can't really watch it. I can upload a photo if need be.
Secondly, when I try and watch a Youtube video, it comes up with the loading symbol, and then goes straight back to the video menu.
I'm on a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac, with 1 GB of memory.
Any help would be great, because it's just such an amazing program.
Joe

YouTube playback is, as far as I know, currently Borked for everyone. As for the colors, make sure all your connections are solid. A slight mis-connection could mean strange colors.

Cheers, but do you mean physical connections, or something else?
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, the physical connection. Make sure all the plugs are secure. If one is a little loose on one end, it will lose a color.

Thanks very much, but I'm actually just running it on my mac, without a TV or anything.

I know that I'm running 10.4, and when I went into the system profiler, it gave me this information about the graphics card: ATI Radeon X1600.
Thanks for any help you can give us.

I'm still seeing the issue with blue YouTube in 0.9.7.4825 (see attached).

MacBook Pro, OS/X Tiger 10.4.11, Radeon X1600

Any ETA on fix?

Seeing red/green/dark images on OSX 10.4.11, with NVidia 7600GT Cards, so this can't just be an ATI Card issue.
