Installing PlayOn Plugins
A plugin can be installed into your installed PlayOn software that can give you access to
additional content—either for a specific region (for example, UK) or on a specific topic.
Following are links to some plugins available on the Internet:
• http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10875
• For a wider selection of Internet plugin sites, see:

To install the plugin:
1. Download the PlayOn Plugin.
Some plugins are self-installing and others require that you manually place a .plugin
file into your C:\Program Files\MediaMall\plugins folder. In both cases, after
you install the plugin, you must restart the PlayOn software.
2. Double-click the PlayOn icon in your system tray as shown below.
