The SlingPlayer software
The Slingbox uses the SlingPlayer to display audio and video on Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X, and selected mobile devices. However, it is also helpful to note that SlingPlayer is not available for Linux, BSD or other open source systems. Older versions of the SlingPlayer can run under old versions of Wine, the latest versions do not work with it. The latest stable version for Windows is version 2.0.0.465. This version is known to be very stable. It includes a live video buffer to pause, fast-forward, and rewind up to 60 minutes of live video, and an integrated channel and program guide. You will also be given a web-based account should you need help in finding and connecting to the Slingbox software via the internet.
On January of 2006, Sling Media announced a Mac OS X port. This announcement was made at the Macworld Conference and Expo. The release finally came through in September of the same year. Sling Media began selling new Slingbox hardware in packages that bore the Mac OS X logo. This means that the device was given support by the people behind Macintosh. It was also in October of that year that Sling Media released the first public beta version of their player. The completed version was released in early 2007. During the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, the company also made an announcement about its Clip+Sling. This software allows users to share clips of their favorite TV shows with each other with the help of a hosted Web service.
