Issues playing .mpg files after latest firmware uprade

If only they'd open source it. I'd love to see what the dev community could do to help the Boxee Box.

I thought it was open source -- http://blog.boxee.tv/2011/04/19/boxe...urce-software/

Actually, after re-reading that post, it seems like corporate marketing horse shit.

If that's the case, you should just stop buying tech right now. For ever.

Probably the best reply to this thread yet.

I mean seriously, record in a different format or convert to one that works. It's not rocket science.

I have issues with MPEG-2 .mpg files also, I just converted the 100 or so I have to AVI and everything is fine now.

That's like saying, "I just went out and bought a BetaMax camcorder but I have to convert all my videos to DVD format to watch them." Stupid.

My main problem is that if you say you support MPEG-2 and get consumers to go out and buy a $200 Boxee Box and then it turns out that there are major issues with MPEG-2 playback, that just seems dishonest. Kind of like the timeframe for Netflix support. Hell, I could of just bought a high end graphics card for less and built out a MythTV box....
