Description

Videos from NBC.com are not playing on boxee box.
I searched for "The Cape " on the boxee box home page and choose to play the video The Cape:Kozmo . the source is from NBC.com.
I checked on my laptop that it is a flash based video , but it does not play on the boxee box browser.

I would like to be able to watch The Office, but NBC is not listed as a source on the Boxee Box and using the browser results in very poor performance. This has sometimes caused my Boxee Box to crash.

I just updated to 1.1 and cannot get videos from NBC to play. I try to use my PC to add to my queue via the "Watch Later" widget, but the videos don't show up. I've also tried going through the Boxee Browser on the box to NBC.com, but the videos will not start.

NBC started working at some point via Boxee Browser and RSS Feed until around May 3 in Boxee Box. After this point, you could watch video but it would only go into fullscreen if you entered the site from Boxee Browser only. See bug http://jira.boxee.tv/browse/BOXEE-9633 for more details about the fullscreen issue.

With the latest Boxee Box build (1.1.0.19036-aeccd8d), NBC videos don't display at all and instead there's a light grey box where the video should be. This happens regardless of how you enter the site (RSS Feed, Boxee Browser, URL/Search). The issues noted in BOXEE-9633 about ABC, ABC Family, CBC, CTV, NBC, USA, History Channel, PBS Kids, Space and The WB seem to still apply on Boxee software since there has not yet been an update.

Video from NBC is playing well on the Box, flash performance wise.
For the reason that videos are unavailable through Boxee, See below.

"As of late July, NBC have begun blocking fans from watching
their content on Boxee. We do our best to enable you access to all
the Web content you already get today on your computer, but it's
ultimately up to content owners to restrict their fans from accessing
their content on the platform."
