Yeah, the Online Menu just got to be too crowded. I really should default it back to under the Online Menu and make replacing the other menus an option.

Unfortunately, this workaround won't work for me...as I don't have Diamond, and it sounds like that is how you were able to get the new 1.5 Playon menu to re-appear.

With all HD100's, I thought I read these new cool themes cause a slowdown. Would love to upgrade to all HD300's...but cant right now.

If anyone has used Diamond on an HD100, let me know...

I'm running the Diamond theme on my HD100 and it works OK. It's really only the movie section that is very slow rendering the UI. It's still faster feeling than my old MVP which I retired a while back.

I installed this plugin and it actually navigates just fine on the HD100 (and looks great, btw).

Overall there are some trades off using Diamond on the HD100. I really like the improved UI and customizations but the slow loading fanart is annoying. You should at least give it a try on the HD100.

Love the update. My question is about the channels listed. I have some that are disabled in the settings of playon, but they are listed in your plugin. For instance, Adult Swim, PBS, Oprah to name a few. Can it be possible to add the ability to disable these? Also I have some plugins installed that would be nice to see listed on the new menu setup. I know I can still access them through the browse playon feature.

All in all, this is awesome!!!

thanks for your hard work.
Mike

What about Pandora? I have WHS as my backend. I have Playon installed on WHS, etc. When I go to my clients or placeshifters the Playon is there and everything is great except the pandora. When I play pandora my stations do show up in the subfolder however when I go to play them I get a banner asking me to sign in. I'm signed into pandora on the WHS but for some reason through the clients its acting like its not. Any suggestions? I would love to get pandora working. Thanks

I installed the updated plugin and now I have Playon in my main menu, but lost the search option. Any ideas?

EP has it setup to take the place of either the search, photos, or music options. If you use the search as I do, you can change to remove one of the others. I don't use the photos so I replaced that.

He of course can explain why this is.

I updated to v1.51 today and AVG is reporting Malware but more importantly nothing works; says that "The external feed was empty"?

I am running SageTV v7.12.

Watch the Demo/Install video. It shows you how to change the menu PlayOn replaces.

Any time PlayOn navigation works but playback doesn't like that means its a PlayOn issue and you'll need to report it to them.

Uh, I think you just explained why nothing works. Tell AVG to play nice.

I went into the Playon Settings section and enabled Hulu Queue, Espn3 and MLB. I am only seeing the Hulu Queue showing up. Espn3 and MLB do not show anywhere on the Main Menu. Do I need to do Sage or Playon Restart for these to show?

Same here, I tried to add ESPN3 to the menu but it won't show up. Also i really like EP's comment earlier about allowing an option to keep it under online videos as I would prefer to not lose Videos, Pictures or Search menu options

[war10ck]

yeah nothing in the sports menu works

[evilpenguin]

Oh shoot, I forgot to add the option to enable PlayOn Premium

Update will be out this afternoon.

Thanks, and btw I absolutely love the new layout. I know this will enhance our use. I just cut the cable cord and sage is my primary tv now with playon get all content I can't get with local qam broadcasts. Thank you!

+1. I would prefer the option to keep it in Online as well.

EP, I appreciate your hard work on this plugin. I love the concept of this plugin. Right now, I am running the 14 day trial of PlayOn considering whether to buy or not. Unfortunately, I have not had great success with streaming to my Client. The videos seem to take a long time to buffer initially and when they do start, they are choppy and usually have to buffer again within the next several seconds. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what I could do to improve streaming performance. If I pull up the very same content in a web browser, it streams fine as I have a snappy internet connection. Both my server and client are hardwired (vs. wireless). On the server (and client), I am running Windows Firewall. In PlayOn, I have unchecked the "Resuming Playback" feature. I have video performance set to "Auto" and pretty much all other options are default. Does anyone have any tips or hints for achieving better streaming? Settings to check or try? My WAF of Playon is going down fast (as is my confidence it will be a viable solution). Can anyone help save the day?

Can someone post the upnpbrowser.exe file? I had AVG installed and it automatically removed the file and I can't find where I can download it. I installed the beta version of Sage but still did not have the upnpbrowser.exe file.

At this point I am stuck until I get this. I tried downloading one off the web but it is specific to the app it came with.

If anyone has any better solutions please let me know.

Thanks
