I'm using the windows version of boxee on a Dell 1500 Vostro Laptop, connected to a Samsung 37" LCD. I can play content from Hulu without any issues, but when I try to pause or click on any of the controls, nothing happens. It will tell me on the boxee player menu that it's paused, but the video continues to play. I can stop, but that's all.

This happens at any point in the video, not just during the commercials.

Yes, it seems the Boxee interface is more of an overlay over the Hulu inteface, but the Boxee interface is not taking over control. At times you can actually see the Hulu interface.

Exactly. The overlay is the one that shows the pause, but it never reflects down to the Hulu player.

I'm trying this a slightly different way, so I want to be sure this is the issue. I've setup my laptop to my Family LCD and my kids are getting use to using the interface as well. They always complain that I'm the only one that knows how to work the devices attached to the LCD, but they are picking this product up quickly and we all noticed this issue while they were looking to pause a show today.

It would also be great if we could map the "Escape" key to the right mouse click as I'm trying this with just a wireless mouse and many times you have to go to the left menu to go all the way back if you are on certain screens.

this is a bug in the current build.
