I'm playing with Boxee tonight and running it through the motions and I when giving Netflix a try I was very impressed with the interface. The problem I had was that it took an extremely long time to buffer and start playing the movie. A lot longer than if I went through the browser. However once it was done buffering and started playing it seemed to do fine.

I did not however watch an entire movie at that point in time, but once it started playing I was pleased.

I just installed boxee 0.9.6.4578 on a Mac Book Pro running 10.5.6 and LOVE it so far... but the Netflix playback (the main feature i want to use right now) is giving me trouble.


Buffering is VERY slow.
TV Shows won't play.
Video quality is poor and stutters. It sometimes recalibrates the video quality but it still stutters.


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
