Unless you have already seen it (i.e. left the pc going playing the video) and didn't restart the upnp client machine.
Unfortunately Playon always transcodes its contents (se the FAQ), so there is no way to directly access the stream.
For everything else it works great. Even on my ION it is performing good, although the video quality is not exceptional (even at max settings the trascoding degrades a little bit the original) and no HD available. Not a big deal since Silverlight didn't use the hardware acceleration of the ION anyway and I couldn't watch HD content without heavy stuttering.
They say that the HD is coming in some future release, but it will take a beefy machine to use it as the transcoding of HD content is really demanding.
This would make sense and does on another level. However, you aren't even able to rewind. It's not as simple as this.
