It is apparently "PlayOn Channel". Underneath it are a couple of
directories, one of which appears to provide a way to reset the server
by selecting to play the file "Restart Server - Restart your PlayOn
Server. By choosing this, your PlayOn Server will be restarted. Note
that all currently playing media will be reset..mpg".

Are you using a 64-bit OS? I ask as I am unable to get djmount to
work on my Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit system even though it did compile. My
myth box is running Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit and djmount works there. I
found other people having problems with 64-bit as well.
