PlayOn Desktop is a PC-based streaming video recorder and media server. When you select a show or movie from the PlayOn desktop app, an invisible browser opens and starts streaming the video from the selected streaming site (such as Netflix, or Hulu). Play On records online videos as they stream — just like a cable DVR or TiVo.

Recordings are saved as .MP4 video files which can be easily transferred to an iPad or iPhone via iTunes, or to an Android mobile device.

As an added bonus, when you playback recordings of network TV shows via an iOS, Roku, Chromecast, Android, or FireTV device, PlayOn’s AdSkip automatically skips the ads for you.

A Home for All Your Media.
All your favorite TV shows, music, and movies are organized under one roof. Stream your local media to your TV for free.

Record It, Watch It, Skip the Ads.
Record streaming videos like titles leaving Netflix soon so you can watch anytime on any device. Skip the commercials on playback.

Any Show, Any Device, Any Time.
You're just one click away from watching any streaming show on your PC or upgrade to stream to your TV, tablet, or mobile device.
