I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm currently using v2.0.3 but it is unable to connect to my playon server. In kodi I'm able to add a UPNP share just fine; Kodi recognizes the UPNP server and adds it showing all of my playon channels, but the Playon Browser doesn't seem to be able to. I'm sure the older version allowed me to add an IP address, but the new version doesn't. I can clear to the defaults, and I can select UPNP, but then the Playon Browser gives a popup that it found a Playon Server, adds it, and then doesn't display any sources. Any suggestions on what I need to be doing here?
Thanks,
Kehnn!

Was looking into maybe using this for another option of video access but getting error when i use UPNP as the option. If I use m3u8 it buffers too much. I am on a wired connection. Also when it does play with m3u8 i have no audio. The actual playon program works with sound and no buffering. I am not like gotta have this, but thought i would share this if others may have experienced it or if it is something that should be addressed.
Thank you

I initially had a few problems as well, perhaps this can help:
In my case, I had PlayOn already set up as a UPNP media source in Kodi, and then it stopped working a while back. Setting up this Add-On got me issues like swirly logos that would either hang when attempting to even browse or boot back out to the media browser without playing media. I'm currently running Kodi Leia RC4 on a Raspberry Pi.
Try the following:
1) Go into the plugin's configuration, take the defaults, configure it as UPnP, and note the server / IP viewed at the top.
2) Go into PlayOn Dektop's mobile settings (Settings --> Mobile) and confirm that both WAN and LAN are set up correctly there.
3) On your desktop, open up a browser and go to m.playon.tv and note the IP address it redirects you to. In my case, there was a new network adapter that was installed by another program that was confusing PlayOn. After disabling it and restarting the MediaMall service, 1, 2, and 3 all seemed to agree.
Once I did this I could re-add PlayOn as a UPnP media source and everything works from there. Doing the same via the plugin would now allow me to browse but I had a few issues:
1) In UPnP playback mode, every click in navigation pops up an annoying "UPnP server found" notification every time, and the playback doesn't actually play content.
2) In M3U8 playback mode, the browsing experience is better but I can only playback channels that are streaming, not pre-recorded content in my media library. That's not a huge deal as I already have that content set up as a SMB share.
Overall I'd just suggest setting this up as native UPnP media sources at the moment rather that using the plugin. With some fiddling I bet I could get it to work better though.
