From our surveys and in forum posts, Local Media Browsing has been the #1 requested feature, and now it's here...
PlayOn announces LOCAL MEDIA BROWSING (in beta)
You can now enjoy your digital media throughout your home with PlayOn. You can see all of your digital photos on your PLAYSTATION 3 or Xbox 360, listen to your stored music, and watch videos stored on your PC through the same PlayOn Digital Media Server you have been using to enjoy Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube. There is no need to maintain a separate Digital Media Server -- how is that for convenient?
Stream the MP3s stored on your computer to your living room, watch home movies stored on your office PC in your bedroom, or flip through that slide show of your summer vacation in your media room -- all with PlayOn.
To upgrade (free for licensed and trial users), simply download the latest at www.themediamall.com/playon/upgrade. Please note that this feature is still in beta - so it is only going to get better. And - if you have some feedback you want to share - please do so by posting on our forum.
If your trial has already expired... do not fret. We have also opened up a New FREE 14-day trial. We want everyone to be able to try PlayOn's Local Media Browsing beta (http://www.themediamall.com/playon/download).
So - check it out and let us know what you think.

Re: File Types?
This is awesome. I upgraded and found the PlayOn server under the Music tab on PS3 but PlayOn is not finding my music. How do I set PlayOn to know where I keep my MP3 files?
Re: File Types?
I got .mkv (Profiles 4.1 H.264 with 5.1 audio AC3 streamed to Sony Play station works great! Now I need is for PlayOn to read my .ISO DVD collection from local drive and stream mpeg2 .vob out to PS3 or xbox 360.
File Types?
Wow, it is awesome that you are now supporting locel file streaming ... I love it! My question is do you have a listing for what types on content can be streamed? I assume MP3 since that is listed but what about video? Do you support DIVX as well?
I can't wait to get home tonight and try this out.
