Linux Boxee Users Get Hulu Relief

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-they-can dept.

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."

    By providing open-standard compression/decompression media libraries from the community, the content producers can focus on, you know, content. Media producers are media producers, not software developers, so anything that allows them to focus on "core competencies" instead of flitting about with things they shouldn't have to care about should be a win for everyone.
