    Default Boxee hangs on exit

    I love Boxee, but I'm having a pretty annoying problem. When I try to exit boxee, it hangs. When I try to end the process, it closes the GUI but the task sticks around for another couple of minutes before truely closing.
    I'm using Vista Home Premium SP1 and have attached the log file.

    You may notice that the log file has been renamed to .txt. You might want to consider having your forums allow the upload of files with a .log extension.

    What log/txt file? Me thinks you forgot to attach anything.

    Nope, didn't forget to attach it. I'm just tired and quite frustrated, first by a software bug and then by forum software that won't allow me to just upload the log file. After attempting to upload the file, I made the mistake of not actually reading the message that popped up. I assumed it meant that the file had been uploaded, but it actually meant that the file was too big. So now I've compressed and uploaded it.

    Oh, and I've now tried clicking exit and waiting to see if the software will (eventually) close on its own. It doesn't. I'm now going to try uninstalling and reinstalling, because I don't remember having this problem when I first installed it.

    I am having this same issue. After I close Boxee the process hangs in memory for up to 5 minutes and can not be killed via process or process tree. This sometimes causes trying to launch new apps, use something that requires the windows security launch dialog or maximize other windows to hang until boxee clears. The attached log is from this morning on Boxee's first launch after last nights reboot.
