PlayOn

Post by Taxious »

Holy shit - PlayOn is awesome! I'm surprised I haven't heard of it until now, but I'm in love. It's basically just an interface between web media (hulu, youtube, cnn, whatever~) and your TV media player (xbox360, ps3, wii, whatever~).

Hulu is very nice on my xbox360. There are tons of TV episodes available and only minor (15 seconds each, and only one per break) commercial breaks.

Oh yeah - it's a $40 license, but well worth it IMO for unlimited free content. There is also a free trial available.

Does it play local content? I'm still looking for something that works really well with my DNLA TV.

Yeah it does play local content, but it claims that that part of the program is in beta. I haven't actually used the local-file-server option (I just use WMP in Vista or uShare in Ubuntu) but I know it's there.
