PlayOn 'preparing to watch' forever

I subscribed to Playon, the server is running on my pc with max bandwidth supported, all account info for amazon, netflix, and hulu are validated. When I turn on the HD200 and go to the Playon UpnP shortcut, it doesnt matter which service I select, netflix, amazon, hulu, cnn, ... I get the 'preparing to watch" box pop up and then the unit just freezes and doesnt respond. Any others with the same problem? Between this and not being able to play an anydvd bluray rip files(m2ts?) file right off of a usb drive connected to the HD200, I can't seem to get any use out of the thing other than watch standard DVD .vob files off the drobo via a wired gig link. Can anyone help with the PlayOn issue? I know it isnt 'officially' supported.

Make sure that you are working with the most recent version of the PlayOn software. I had this issue a few days ago, upgraded to the latest version, and it took care of it.

i've had this occasionally.................i unplug the power when this happens.
i can't find a pattern for when it hangs and when it doesn't..............my tversity upnp server is solid, so i suspect playon upnp server is just a work in progress
