    Default Cannot link MLB.tv and Netflix accounts.

    I am new to boxee and trying to setup MLBtv and Netflix.

    I downloaded the current version of boxee for max os x (version 0.9.23.15885) and have link both accounts on boxee.tv. Also both accounts work in safari and other browser.

    When I attempt to access MLBtv via the boxee app the following dialog appears.

    "Got MLB.tv? Go to boxee.tv/services to link your account.
    No MLB.tv? Sign up at mlb.com/boxee and get a free game a day through april."

    Similarly when I attempt to access netflix the following appears

    To use Netflix on Boxee, you will need to do the following:

    "1. Sign up for Netflix and authorize your account
    http://www.boxee.tv/netflix

    2. Install Microsoft Silverlight.

    3. Relaunch this app and select 'Yes' when asked 'Boxee needs to store a cookie...' "


    Any suggestions for either of these link errors?

    First, are you trying to use these apps on the Boxee Box or on the mac or both? I ask because you've posted to the Boxee Box section.

    (For the Boxee Box, you link Netflix via the Box itself, just start the Netflix app.)

    Sorry I realized I posted this is the wrong section. This is not a boxee box. It is on my mac.

    I tried to find a way yo move or delete the thread but I could not and I didn't want to start a bunch of threads with the same question.

    So you have an account with mlb.tv? And you've successfully entered your mlb.tv username and password at boxee.tv/services?

    Also, I'm not sure, but Netflix may not work on Mac OSX...

    Yes. On boxee.tv/services it now says
    "Your MLB.TV account is connected to your Boxee."

    What is the most complete/stable distribution of Boxee. Win/Mac/Linux?

    Linux doesn't have Netflix but Windows does.

    Problem Solved: My roommate made an account without me knowing and was logged in. Therefore my services were not working. Thanks for the time.
