Does anybody know how it works with video sites that only have a web interface & flash player? I'm thinking of Tai Seng (http://mytv.taiseng.com/ http://mytv.taiseng.com/, a Cantonese movie site my wife watches that's based on the same tech as Crunchroll).
- jonny_eh 16y agoJust download boxee for the PC and try it out, it's free.
- larsberg 16y agoThanks for the tip -- will do!
- maineldc 16y agoThat's usually not good enough since the Boxee Box handles flash website different than the version that you download and install yourself. For instance, many sites on the DL version start in full screen but with the Boxee Box they don't. I think this was done to satisfy content owners but it significantly hampers my experience with the Box. They do try to do two clever things with the box to make this better: Hit menu and sometimes there is a full screen button, sometimes not. Also, they try to place the mouse cursor over the "Fullscreen Button" in the Flash player, but this is wonky at best.
- larsberg 16y agoI gave it a try, and at least on the Windows version, their browser crashes if you mouse over the wrong areas or click the wrong buttons (on mytv.taiseng.com).
- stublag 16y agoSome of the shows listed in the TV directory (Comedy Central shows, for example) load it in a browser, and you have to manually maneuver a cursor to the fullscreen button. One of the Apps on the box is a simple web browser, that would allow you to navigate anywhere. That said, Boxee has small handful of shows/networks that automatically switch to fullscreen for you – but those seem few and far between.
