Other backers have reported issues with Flixster working with Roku boxes, along with a lack of Flixster support for Apple TV. I'm not the only person who tripped over a Flixster-shaped "Veronica Mars" stumbling block. Really, I just wanted the convenience of streaming my reward right then and there.
FLIXSTER SUPPORT MOVIE
I ended up downloading the Flixster app to my computer and running the movie from there. If I had ever tried to use Flixster before, I would have been aware of this ban on dual monitors, but I had to meet the ugly truth while in a "Veronica Mars" fever of fan fervor, which quickly slapped a big cold damper on my excitement. I wonder if Flixster thinks dual monitors are a gateway to pirating activities. I got this message, like a stab in my crowdfunding heart: "Your screen configuration does not support protected playback." Huh? I went to the FAQ for explanation and discovered my dual-monitor desktop setup violates Flixster's DRM restrictions. So, I went through the sign-up, got a Flixster and Digital Ultraviolet account, and settled in to watch it stream. My official Kickstarter email arrived, with a link to a Digital Ultraviolet version of the film, accessed through the Flixter streaming video service. But, never fear, my pledge included a digital copy of the film. My town of Albuquerque, N.M., however, was not on the theater list. This past Friday, it was officially released into theaters. Along with 91,584 other people, I helped raise $5.7 million to fund the film. When I heard the "Veronica Mars" movie was up on Kickstarter, I ran over to the crowdfunding site and elatedly flung my $35 pledge at the project.
