Limitations and Known Issues
This is a list of current software limitations in the Boxee code, (Boxee's base source code is based on XBMC Media Center software source code so Boxee has many of the same software limitations as XBMC).
- Boxee Box does not support Flash Player 11, whereas many sites have media content streamed using Flash Player 11 (Comedy Central for example) Boxee Box does not support this although they plan to support this in the future.
- Boxee currently cannot play any audio/music files protected/encrypted with Digital rights management (DRM), such as music purchased from the iTunes Store, MSN Music or Audible.com before DRM restrictions are lifted.
- Boxee is currently available for x86-based platforms, and a x86-64 version is available for Windows. Boxee is not yet available for ARM, PowerPC, or MIPS processor architectures.
- Boxee requires a DirectX 9.0 or OpenGL 1.4 with GLSL (or newer) hardware accelerated graphics GPU and matching device drivers.
- Boxee provides online sources for TV shows missing from the user's local storage. However, online sources may use different season & episode numbering schemes (e.g. anime), resulting in Boxee providing incorrect TV episode enumeration. Boxee does not allow its users to disable online sources and presently does not plan to offer a solution for this issue.

“That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
