PPLive - 2nd generation
We call all 1.0.9.x and later versions "2nd generation" PPlive.
As in old generation PPlive applications, you can choose channels directly from the PPlive website:
PPlive Channels.
PPlive Channels Translated.
PPlive Sports Channels Translated.
Download PPlive latest version: PPlive 1.1.0.7
Due to some problems reported with the later versions, it is recommended to try this version: PPlive 1.0.9.5
In the new versions of PPlive the main application is called the PPlive Engine. An icon of a blue arrow pointing down replaces the old grey 'Pp' Icon (Figure 1). Although the default language is set to English, the channels list is still in Chinese. Choosing a channel will play it in the PPlive Player (Figure 3), a stand alone player which is basically no more than a Media Player in a PPlive skin.

There is an added bonus to playing channels directly from the PPlive website. The streams are played in a regular Media Player window which is still the better option. Either way information about the chosen channel will appear in the PPlive Play list window (Figure 4) that can be opened by double clicking the PPlive icon in the taskbar (Figure 1).

If you are running a firewall on your pc you should open a couple of ports for PPlive. You can specify the ports you prefer through the PPlive option menu (Figure 4). Since it's not mentioned anywhere within the application, we assume it would be best to allow both TCP and UDP communication through these ports.
