HTML5 stream a video with boxee player...?

[krazyjakee]

What is the point in "boxee.setMode(boxee.PLAYER_MODE);" If you can't load a video onto it?

Is there something I'm missing?

Pretty major function missing there: boxee.load(string mediaurl);

I see controls there but no way to load media.

So for anyone out in the barren boxee development wasteland that is interested...

Use a simple embed code

    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o3Kbc-LSGvI?version=3&enablejsapi=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360">

and then http://developer.boxee.tv/JavaScript...toSelectPlayer to autofind and manipulate it.

For further details I suggest you take a look at this example: https://github.com/Boxee/html5-examp...outube-example

PS: Boxee, I'm begging you, please hire some cool people to keep this forum and your blog active and not let this project die.

I agree with you on that last part, since rob has left the develpment scene has come to a dead track. Boxee is a great player but the app platform is doomed to be a failure this way. As steve would call it they are a set of bozo's trying to make money instead of a creating a great product.

This actually still didn't work for me. The player just sits there on the screen and doesn't go full. Anyway, I'm hesitant to continue to develop for such a suicidal platform.
