PlayOn is a fantastic service that acts pretty similarly to a Roku box. You set up the PlayOn server on a computer, then that server slings content to compatible devices, which could be an Android device, Xbox 360, or another computer. It offers tons of different channels and plug-ins that do are as broad as offering links to stream shows online, or as specific as finding foreign news broadcasts. It can also be useful for streaming Netflix to devices that don't officially support Netflix (which was a much bigger deal before every internet-connected device had a Netflix app) or local media to, say, your Android tablet.
In the latest PlayOn beta, they're fine tuning Chromecast support, which is some pretty big news considering how much content that will add to Google's Chromecast. Playback will rely on using the Android app or web extension to find the content you want to watch, then streaming to the Chromecast from there, so it's looking like it will work like most other Chromecast apps. Being able to stream video from a web browser looks like it'll be extremely handy, since that's one area that the Chromecast has been a bit behind in since its launch.
If you're interested and are already a PlayOn subscriber, you can test out the beta link below. If you haven't used PlayOn yet, they offer a free trial, and now is a great time to take advantage of that.
