Nice idea but Boxee is still king here. No browse function is a deal breaker.

awesome! I'm downloading this for sure

The installer froze. Not a good sign.

Hopefully it'll work eventually.

Now if Hollywood would only get rid of geo-restrictions, then piracy would all but vanish.

The TV and movie execs just don't get it. They say, "we can't have Hulu in the rest of the world, because then they'll steal the content." Their backwards thinking and policy making only *encourages* and *necesitates* pirated versions of the content, because there's no other way to get it.

@bon
I totally agree. I just moved to India from Boston and cannor get any of my favourite shows here legally. So after years of legally buying my TV shows(season packs, episodes, etc) I have started looking for alternate ways to watch Heroes, 24, and Lost.

Wonder if this can be installed on the AppleTV?

super buggy

I installed this and it worked for both my Netflix Instant Queue and Hulu. Auto-detected both profiles, so it worked very well.

I don't think this product is authored by Google. It's made available on the Google Code platform (much like sourceforge) but the actual creator is not affiliated with Google to my knowledge: http://code.google.com/u/@VhlWRFFWDxBGXQh6/

Wake me up when they get this for iPhone.

This is not "Google's" plugin, and the description on the project page is not "according to Google". It's "according to the guy who started the project". Google code hosting (projects at code.google.com) is available to anyone with an open-source project. Describing this as Google's project is like saying that an email from a GMail address is an official Google statement.

I thought this was for Apple TV - that would have been interesting.

Who uses Front Row?????? And why?

Just installed it and it works great.

I like that you can now at least pause the flick with the remote. It would be nicer if you could FF/RW. Maybe that will be in a future update.

Works but no video plays - all listed as "unavailable" - are the feeds limited to US viewing only (I'm in the UK). Happy viewing, J

Dang! And I just did the AppleTV patchstick thing!

Truthfully, Hulu is the about the only thing on Boxee with responsive onscreen controls, and the Boxee interface is, well, godawful.

On the upside, it can see and play movies and music on an airport extreme external hard drive without going through iTunes,

Works fine for my netflix instant queue but can't seem to find my queue on hulu. I can add the preset queues but they won't play because of my "click to flash" plugin even though hulu is white listed
