I can't for the life of me get my own box.net widget to do this. If I embed your box above in my site, it works fine. When I embed my own box, while I can see the files, when I click on an uploaded vid, I'm immediately presented with a download page. I can't find any explanation for this. The files have been made public, there does not seem to be a file compatibility problem (because I downloaded a box.net vid sample, which streams fine from their site, but not from mine), and, as I say, I can get others boxes working fine on my wordpress install. Would be very grateful for any tips if you have them. Cheers Richard Tell me guys, please, how did you get the box.net widget on your wordpress site here to stream the video file?

I'd add the ability to download viewable media rather than viewing it in the widget (it appears they've got right-click menus for this, but they don't work for me). Also, some sort of hierarchy metaphor would be helpful - folders for example. I haven't created one, so maybe it's possible and just not represented in your example box. And how about a 'download all' option that gives you the entire contents in a zip file? Nice concept, not sure about the execution.
