yup…

I barely use cable anymore but many times boxee will not load a video, or the video will start to play and then randomly mess up. Indexing is still not perfected either. Also, I've run into error 2 many times, usually fixable by leaving the ATV off for a while, but lately I haven't been able to locate my shares unless I do it manually (which can be annoying).

we realize there is a lot for us to do in the core product. specifically we're changing the way the Music indexing works (it will be based on ID3 tags, like iTunes). we're also working to fix some of the video streaming bugs.

are you part of the early access users?

I personally don't think Boxee is ready for all this. User experience needs to be perfected before I can even care about adding an application… There are too many bugs still and music is still not functional. I want to be able to stream everything flawlessly, and have it index properly, before I start using the webapps. but hey, maybe thats just me
