I want to stay on top of the issue with XBMC installed on FTV and accessing PlayOn.
Current issue --- " XBMC identifies itself as a generic UPnP device that is not capable of playing HD video, so PlayOn has to stream SD video. This is an unfortunate limitation created by how XBMC behaves locally vs. how it behaves over a network."
A developer here for XBMC (Montellese), saw the limitation due to the way XBMC identifies itself to other UPNP peers, and was able to fix the problem with a quick build, but followed up by saying the fix would be available until 13.2, at the earliest.
Read the limitations in this forum thread.

I want to make sure everyone is aware, and that this fix stays in the main-stream list of bugs to fix in XBMC.
I would really like a nightly ARM build with this UPNP fix prior to the introduction of Helix.
