    Post A possible fix for the Boxee bookmarklet prompting to login on Chrome

    I'd been experiencing an issue with the Boxee bookmarklet after I upgraded to Google Chrome v17 where it would ask me to logon to Boxee, but even after logging in the message would reappear. This stopped me from adding anything to the "Watch Later" queue.

    I found the solution, for me at least, so I wanted to share it here in case anyone else has the same problem.

    These steps apply to Chrome on Ubuntu but I imagine that they're similar on other platforms:

    1) Open Chrome
    2) Click on the Spanner\Wrench icon
    3) Select the Settings\Under the Bonnet\Content Setting\Manage Exceptions
    4) Add http://www.boxee.tv and make sure you set the behaviour for it to "Allow"
    5) Close the Settings dialog box
    6) Try it! If it doesn't work at first, try closing and reopening Chrome

    For what it's worth, I don't have any issues using the Boxee Bookmarklet with Chrome v18 on Windows Home Premium x64...
