2.5.3.4 Setting Up PlayOn TV UPnP/DLNA Server
PlayOn is a software program that runs on your Windows PC, giving you access to a wide
range of Internet-based on-demand content on your TV via M400 Media Player. Examples of
content sites that are available through PlayOn include YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon VOD,
and many others. This guide is intended as a brief and simple overview of PlayOn and the
features it provides.

Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later), Windows Vista, Windows 7, or

the PC or device should be on a wired connection)

access to Program Files\MediaMall\MediaMallServer.exe & SettingsManager.exe
Installing and Running PlayOn
PlayOn is simple to install and easy to get running and start using.
1) Download and install PlayOn on your Windows PC from
www.playon.tv
.
2) Turn on your M400 Media Player, find the PlayOn server under Media Browser, UPnP, and
watch online content directly on your television.
Make sure your M400 Media Player has a network connection to the
same
router that your
PlayOn PC is connected to, and has the latest system software update installed. Note that
when selecting any online video, it may take up to 10 seconds or longer before video starts
showing on your television. Certain devices also show no indication that video is loading, so
you should wait to see if the video does start playing. Having a faster broadband connection
and/or PC will help reduce this buffering time.
