I got this working from Windows 7 to my PS3 and Reading My Netflix Instant Queue. I only have DSL so the movie would stutter while downloading. Appears to be no buffering. With a faster connection should be good.

I have been using this since I found my router but it seems to not play to well to my television from my PS3. I thought maybe it was because I have not paid for regestering the product but they said it was not. I have high speed cable and a semi fast computer and was hoping this would be something I could get without having anymore remotes in my house. I had to get logged off my Netflix from the PS3 before I could get my password accepted on the Play On.

The Playon product is awesome. Add that to other formats such as MCE and OTA and you have a complete home solution for bypassing the old format of paying for cable or satellite tv. Get it for free now.. why not..

Check out thefuzznetwork and see some cool things you can do with both your ps3 and xbox with playon and hulu.

i’ve been using the latest version (2.59.3302) of playon on the ps3 – works about 90% of the time. by works i mean the content doesn’t get interrupted or the content actually plays (and you don’t get errors, etc.) playon developers still have a bit to work on. i’m just not willing to pay for the software until they get some of these bugs worked out, especially the forward/reverse – this doesn’t work all the time. one very annoying thing is when the content freezes – when you attempt to start it back up, you have to start at the beginning of what you were watching – very annoying. some of their current solutions to these issues: restart playon, restart pc, and/or restart your router – works most of the time. if i were mediamall, i’d keep it in beta for a bit longer.

imho, it would be nice if they would just develop the software for the console, rather than the pc.

I had the exact opposite experience with video quality. I was able to stream movies from my queue (sorry not sure what version I’m running) but the quality wasn’t good enough for living room viewing on a 50″ Kuro. For me, it was stuck-somewhere-where-any-video-will-do quality. I was really excited when Netflix announced they’d be serving up Starz movies on the watch now service but I’d rather watch the movies on Starz OnDemand. I really want to like this service!

Anyone had any success making this work on the Mac, via virtualization software such as Parallels/VMWare Fusion?

If this really worked, I’d pay for it.

Dave,

Mediamall is restarting the evaluation period today due to the download problems and their site crashing. It was posted on their blog. So you have 45 more days to decide….

oh yeah, it popped up on the netflix website. I had not watched instant movies in my browser before. Once I downloaded the required add-on it worked on my DSM 520 as well. The guys at media mall are helpfull as well if you send in a support request.
