I’m a huge Playon fan but I’m thinking about buying a refurbished i Mac 17” MA199LL -
iMac4,1 – A1173 -complete WiFi system I know its an older model but Ive heard good things and the price is right want to make sure i’ll still be able to run PlayOn and stream at a high quality level. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

By other device do you mean another mac with guest xp?
Playon works fine when I use a windows machine.

Bender, have you found a solution yet. I’m running into the same problem and have done the bridging and firewall access.

I have Windows 7 running on a Mac Mini with Parallels Desktop 6 on Snow Leopard. Playon installed without problem, but it does not show up on my Samsung BD player’s devices list. (This same BD player shows another Playon server on a Vista PC, but not the one on the Mac.)

I configured network bridging, though I don’t really understand what I’m doing: I have it set up as Devices->Network 1->Bridged(Ethernet). The Mac Mini is connected via ethernet cable to the same switch/router as the Vista PC.

I do have McAfee Internet Security on this Mac/Parallels, but I have exceptions on the firewall to allow Full access for Playon Server, Playon Settings, and Playon System Tray Monitor. (I also tried turning off the firewall for 15 minutes, which didn’t help.)

Why would the Playon server on the Mac not show up among the DLNA devices on my BD player, when the one on the Vista PC does?

Thanks for any help.

For parallels 6 go to devices, network, bridged and choose air port.

However I keep getting a screen saying that my virtual audio device is set to default, and then the video does not play

I’m using parallels 6 and win7 on a macpro unibody

I have the same question for parallels 6. That screen is not there. What options do we select?
thanks
