Can we disable NBC, ABC, and FOX sources on Linux since they don't work?

**dutchhome** · January 16th, 2010, 11:06 PM

I have the Boxee beta installed on Karmic and a lot works. I understand why some network feeds don't work, but I don't understand why I have to sort through those episodes. Is it possible to filter the NBC, ABC, and FOX shows out so I don't get false hope? Naturally if Hulu has them I'd still like to see them

Isn't that a bit like stubbing your tow on the coffee table and treating it by cutting it off of your foot?

I would be MUCH more interested in fixing these sources, as I'm still stuck using Hulu desktop for the majority of the content I'm interested in, even though boxee is infinitely superior to work with.

It is not an issue with Boxee. The issue is the plugin that these sources require are not available for Linux.

Until the networks remove the need for the plugin, release a Linux build or someone finds a workaround I think the sources should either hidden or removed in Boxee to streamline the users experience.

Is Hulu working for you? Because it's not for a lot of people.

Yes, Hulu works great for me. I installed the Hulu desktop first.. I wonder if that made any difference.

I am running 32-bit Karmic w/ PulseAudio (even works with SPDIF passthrough now

)

Hulu sources work for me and I don't have hulu desktop installed.

I believe that hulu is only broken in the 64bit linux version of boxee.

Sadly, I can't get the 32bit version of boxee to run on my 64bit system, and as I've said before, I'm not willing to roll my whole system 5 years into the technological past just to be able to watch hulu in one particular app, when it works fine in every other app available.
