Boxee - Limitations and Known Issues

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.

Famous quotes containing the words limitations and/or issues:

    “The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
