Ahhhh!....What happened To All The CTV Shows?

[canuckle]

All I see now is Fashion Television....oh joy!

All the shows are gone. Anybody else getting this same behavior?
Comedy Network is really flakey today as well...which CTV owns....so maybe it's related.

Same here, strangely enough, CBC seems to be missing as well.

Yep. I encourage others to post if they have this issue so at least Boxee team can see that it affects many people and they could then at least give us a reason why it happened and if they are or are not working on a solution.

No no, guys please relax, of course we know if affects many people ;p We love you guys! - its already fixed and changes are being applied to live servers.

ctv and cbc made changes to their backend api. both have been fixed and server will be updated soon.

You're right, the network feeds are back as of last night. Two things I've noticed though, CTV shows won't pause and often freeze at the initial ad and won't play. I'm using the latest windows version of Boxee with win7 64 bit. Any other Canadians seeing the same?

I've got all kinds of issues with no pausing, FF, Rewind, no volume control, black screen(sometimes long buffering time)...when watching streaming stuff. I figured these are known issues and are not priority at the moment because of the Boxee box release being priority.

Thanks for the update, that is all we wanted. Just realize Canadians are dying for other forms of content, we are being teased with the USA right next door and can't touch it. So any changes you'll know from us ASAP.

My hope Boxee will have the stability and functionality of XBMC but with good online content and social interaction.

I haven't noticed any problems getting past the ad breaks, but the pause/resume function is, well, flakey is the best way to describe it. Press pause and Boxee says it's paused, but the video keeps going. Press pause again and Boxee switches back to saying it's running, but it might then pause. I'd say it takes two presses to get an action, but it's not quite that consistent.

And yeah, rewind, ff, volume changing, none of them work. But that's par for the course with Flash stuff on Boxee it seems. I've adapted to using the volume on the receiver or the TV for Boxee and just leave Boxee at full all the time.

This is not boxee's fault. The websites are blocking the pause, FF and Rewind. They do this so you can't fast forward through the commercials.

I have the same issue with my Rogers PVR.
