Beta Fever

Hey there! This is the CTO, David, and just wanted to let everyone know that we're very excited about this beta release. We've already definitely gotten a ton of feedback from many of you. Thank you! Right now, the issues that have taken center stage for our developers are:

1. Windows 64-bit support: Tons of you have written in asking about 64-bit support, and we should be able to have a test release within a day or two!

2. Some of you have had issues where no media can play at all. You see all the clips and thumbnail images while you browse through all the shows, but when you select them to watch, it consistently fails. On the PLAYSTATION 3, the error looks something like: The folder could not be accessed. This content may have been deleted by the media server. On the Xbox 360, you might see Status code: 69-C00D36C4. We're working very hard to fix this, and will try to keep you updated. We definitely appreciate your patience.

In the meantime, don't be shy with your feedback. Our in-house user forum isn't working right quite yet, but we encourage you to contact us directly with questions or suggestions. We definitely listen to what you have to say, and we work hard to make PlayOn the best it can be.

Top FAQs

What is PlayOn?
PlayOn is software that you install on your Windows PC. It allows you to use your Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, iPhone, Android phone or another supported device to access movies and shows from content providers like Hulu, Netflix, Comedy Central, CBS, YouTube, MLB.tv, your personal media, and many more. PlayOn is both browser and media server software, built into one. It browses content from various online providers, and displays that content directly on your TV, iPhone or Android phone.
How does it work?
PlayOn runs in the background on your PC over your home network. It uses standards called UPnP and DLNA to communicate with networked gaming consoles,TVs, and mobile phones working both as an internet browser to access online media and as a UPnP media server to serve videos to UPnP compliant devices.
