New Beta Version

OK - the 3rd version of the PlayOn beta is live. We sent it out to a select set  of Beta testers and it seems to be performing well, so now it is available to all Beta users - www.themediamall.com/playon.  It fixes a host of bugs and adds some of the most requested features:

YouTube (User Playlists/Subscriptions and Published videos)

Hulu (Movies, New categorization of episodes and clips with season and episode numbers)

Added an optional icon in the system tray to see the status of the server, and made it such that you can disable it from automatically starting when windows starts

We continue to crank away on incremental features as we move toward launch. We have been getting great feedback so far and are still listening! So please let us know if you have thoughts on PlayOn!

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.
