Hi folks. I know some people have an axe to grind with Slingbox, but I'm a long-time fan, and have been since the beginning.

I just picked up the new Slingbox 500, and was a little annoyed to find that the whole concept of a SlingPlayer app for the desktop is a thing of the past. Like everything else, the "browser is the interface" (shades of Google's Chromebook), and the user is expected to interact with his Slingboxes via Sling's website. Oh well...

As any smart user would, I try to keep all the nasty stuff like Flash and other crapware to a minimum on my system. So far though, I've been forced to disable ClickToPlugin whenever I want to watch my Slingbox.

Anyone know how to whitelist the Sling plugin on the ClickToPlugin extension? I tried a couple of different settings, but to no avail. Maybe I'm just being a bit thick, I don't know. Any help appreciated, thanks.
