I should also mention that PlayOn is not one of the "known compatible 
devices".

So far I can't get it to work with PlayOn, but it does seem to work with 
Mediatomb.

I haven't worked with it a lot, and I may be able to get it working with 
PlayOn, perhaps using the playlist option.

But I wanted to make sure you were aware that it might not do what you set out 
to do.
