I'm just curious if anyone has been able to get this to work with a non-XBMC approach. I was able to use djmount to mount the upnp content as a virtual drive, but when I use the Video Manger to load the new content, it hangs on loading and eventually Mythfrontend crashes after a few hours. 

I am not surprised that it is taking alot of time to load the new content since PlayOn offers alot between CBS, Hulu, ESPN, etc. However, in trying to diagnose the bottleneck, I noticed my myth box is performing fine - cpu untilization, memory, bandwith all look very low. However, on my windows box, the PlayOn executable is pegging the cpu.

Thanks,
