Linux Boxee Users Get Hulu Relief

DeviceGuru writes "The Linux version of Boxee's eponymously-named multimedia platform has finally been updated to include several new features introduced into the OS X and Windows versions over the past few months. Key additions include an App Box and restored support for Hulu, which disappeared several months ago. Still lacking in the latest Linux release, however, is the long-awaited addition of Netflix movie and TV show streaming for subscribers to Netflix's monthly service."

    Still lacking in the latest Linux release, however, is the long-awaited addition of Netflix movie and TV show streaming for subscribers to Netflix's monthly service.

    According to this thread, the ball's in Netflix's court to get their streaming service running on Linux: http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=3385

    The XBMC threads are still "we're working on it." I wish Boxee would play nice and roll out the source of the updates.

    This has nothing to do with Boxee. Hulu does not stream content outside the United States because the content is provided by US television networks. (I'm not saying I agree with this, but that is certainly the rationalization.)
