Decided to throw together a quick video review and demo of MediaMall PlayOn, a software packaging for media streaming to the PS3, Xbox and other products compatible with the protocol. It supports a wide variety of local file formats, and streams video from sites like Hulu, CNN, CBS, YouTube and more. The plugin architecture allows developers to add support for additional services, and there’s plenty available for sites like Adult Swim and Gametrailers.
Aside from the handy streaming support for Internet video sites, they recently introduced beta support for local file sharing. Unlike TVersity, it worked with every file format I threw at it including the ever-frustrating MKV. The only issue I have is that embedded subtitles don’t appear to be working yet.
