PPStream on Mac OS X (PPS 网络电视）
One of the most popular applications in China is the domestically developed “PP stream”. It’s closest analog in the west might be Joost or the iTunes Music Store. The key difference is that everything is free.
You’ve heard the legends of the China DVD market – where everything every published is available for $1 USD. With PP stream, the Chinese DVD market has come to you and all the DVDs are now free.
Currently PPsteam is only available for the Chinese version of Windows, but you can use PPStream with VMware Fusion. Ideally you should install the Chinese version of Windows. If you only have the Int’l-English version of Windows, you’ll need to first install the Chinese Language pack. Additionally, you’ll need to under the Int’l-English version of Windows, the codepage will be incorrect and many parts of the interface will be rendered/decoded incorrectly (乱码). The codepage should be 936. Using the Control Panel / Regional and Language Options / Advanced tab set the Language for non-Unicode programs to: Chinese (PRC).
The format of the media files played by PPStream is readable by VLC, so there should be some way to access the files directly without the PPStream client, but current versions have hidden the URLs holding the media files.
The new version of PPstream actually continuously splits the signal across several connections. Watching my Network Filter while playing video you can see the network connection is constantly jumping between servers. Accessing the media files via some reverse engineering may be very difficult. On the bright side, the client works perfectly under VMware fusion.
怎样下载ppstream on mac os x ,你的主页上下的打不开？
Is Really wonderful , if Apple can use it

lol
Is this for mac? I think,I’ll try it!

@123 If everything is showing up as “???” instead of Chinese, then you need to make sure that: 1. You have the Eastern Asian Fonts installed under your Windows XP 2. PPS doesn’t use Unicode, so set your CODEPAGE to GBK, which is Code Page 936.
To set the Code Page:
Control Panel >> Regional and Language options >> Advanced and selected “Chinese (Simplified)” from the drop-down list of “language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use”
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144258.aspx
To instal the East Asian Language support:
Control Panel >> Regional and Language options >> Languages >> Check the “Install files for East Asian Languages” then click OK. Make sure you have your Windows CD ready.

@dmb Yes, this isn’t running native – it’s running via VMware Fusion so you’ll need a little bit of extra memory, but it does run very well since modern Intel CPUs have a virtualization component. VMWare retails for $80 USD, but you can download a free 30-day trial edition of VMWare at http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
Otherwise, the next best option is Youku, which is getting better every day!
那个使用的是虚拟模拟，如果这样的话，吼吼，电脑慢死～～人得等死～它之所以能全屏，应该是用到VM模拟里面的Utility Service，看起来不错，其实更站内存～～
@Qun
你的“虚拟模拟”理解过时了，或者自”都市传奇“吧
英特尔”Core Duo“之后芯片带” Intel® Virtualization Technology“（虚拟V86模式），是针对虚拟机的平台。
这个新的芯片设计保障大部分的虚拟机之类进程会非常顺利。当然，内存还是虚拟机的代价。
There is some useful chinese applications like this PPStream and 美图秀秀 only for Windows…

Stagevu and its previous incarnation Stage6 has been in operation since before pps.tv even know what it means to be on the internet. And the format is far superior to whatever Chinamen standard (my guess, RMVB?).
pps can’t open on mac is not work how to get it work
你说跟没说一样,还不是得安装模拟机?
i already download it, but it seem i cant open it, it just come up blank page, do you know what program i need to make it openable..
