abc is currently mac only

I have an iMac (intel) and I get the same "abc is currently down.." so it doesn't work on a mac either.

Any news on this? Just finally got a mac, and I am really anxious to try out ABC, especially since Hulu is gone :(

[marcel]

currently unavailable to all boxee versions....we are working on it..

I've was having success until Sunday night/Monday morning. I had been watching season 1 of Lost all night until about 12:30 A.M. I tried to load the next episode and got this error. Been down ever since. Hopefully this helps.

I am wondering why it was working for you at all, since it has been down a while...

Sooo.....


Any updates on this one yet? We are anxiously awaiting our favorite ABC shows to come back. I know the devs have been busy busy with the Hulu situation, but figured I would jump in and check.

We recently re-hooked cable back up to our house since the most basic version is free for us due to a bundle discount, but I have to tell you, we sure love the "On Demand" feature that Boxee has. :)

haha "gentle"

Yes, I would like an update too, I don't see what's going on...can anyone enlighten me as to what the problem was with the plugin? By the time I got a Mini the ABC player was already down.

[marcel]

we are still working on it for future versions ..will update the forums when it is working..

[matvey]

Any news re: ABC? Will it work in 3/24 release?

[marcel]

not yet ...still working on it ..

[unisonband]

So the new update wiped out the ABC plugin...this is a bad sign! Does this mean you guys can't get it working?

I will repeat what Avner said at the meetup when asked the same question, He said the issue with ABC was not technical but rather more political, ABC wants to be on Boxee but they need to iron out the specifics of the way Boxee supports their (ABC's) advertising. Once this is sorted out ABC will be back.

My own 2 cents: I'm sure its a matter of a bunch of guys in suits over at ABC making some sort of decision about something or other and they take a while to do those sorts of things.

It could be about whether or nt Disney joins Hulu. There are some rumors and unnamed sources about it on the net today.
