What are PlayOn Plugins?
Plugins for PlayOnallow third-party partner companies and the open source community to develop custom feeds to pretty much any media content. We have provided asimple API, and developers who are familiar with the .NET framework can easily create and distribute their own Plugins. Although we're not officially affiliated with the following sites, we highly recommend you take a look at all the various Plugin download options atwww.playonplugins.comandwww.playonscripts.com.
How do I configure my antivirus/firewall software to work with PlayOn?
In your security software configuration settings, you must givefull local and online network accessto the PlayOn server executable. On normal installations, this can be found atC:\Program Files\MediaMall\MediaMallServer.exe. In our development labs, we use AVG and Windows Firewall. These consistently work fine for us, so we can highly recommend them, also because they don't degrade PC performance as much as many other third-party security packages.
Can I see media files from my PC's hard drive through PlayOn?
Yes! And it's free as part of PlayOn Lite. Although, this feature is currently in beta, you can choose to enable local media file sharing, or "My Media", and select specific directories on your PC's hard drive to share through PlayOn. Any media files in those directories should show up through the "My Media" folder. As this is still a beta feature, there are some limitations; first off, most content will always be automatically transcoded on the fly -- much like how PlayOn processes online media -- even if your connected device could potentially handle the native file directly. This means that fast forwarding can be an issue for many devices. Also, media you share through a network device will often not be correctly discovered through PlayOn. We're working on fixing both of these issues, as well as making big improvements in the "My Media" feature in general, so stay tuned!

I had a good laugh this morning while watching Zach Galifianakis host SNL on Hulu and needed to share this clip. It is hard not to love Zach and his crazy beard. Any actor that is known for their awkward roles wins in my book. There are rumors that The Hangover 2 will start filming this fall. I can't wait to see more from this wolf pack!

When a particular show is really good I enjoy watching episodes back to back until I finish a season or simply run out of time. Maybe this is one of the reasons that having cable is not important to me. Dexter, Weeds and Mad Men are my current obsessions that I have been renting from Netflix. Am I missing out on any great shows?
