UPDATE PPS releases official Mac version.
PPS recently released the first official Mac OS X version of PPStream. Mac OS X “.pkg” or “.dmg” installer packages are available. It’s probably easiest to just grab the installer here pps.dmg. Or you can directly visit the new PPS for Mac download page to view all available options.
Note that PPS is also available for iPad, iPhone, Android and Linux!!!
Way to go PPS team.
For reference, I’ve included the origional PPS vmware instructions below, but they are now obsolete.
Our last Mac OS X problem is the “U盾” for online banking “网上银行”. Even QQ works quite well on Mac OS X these days.
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.

He is running ppstream on windows via parallels (virtualization program). There is currently no mac version of ppstream.

Is this for mac? I think,I’ll try it!
December 22nd, 2009 at 3:07 am
why i download already the word appear is ???,not in chinese
December 30th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
@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.
See: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/int_pr_install_languages.mspx?mfr=true

@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～～
January 5th, 2010 at 7:39 am
@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。
January 27th, 2010 at 3:02 am
There is some useful chinese applications like this PPStream and 美图秀秀 only for Windows…
February 10th, 2010 at 11:22 pm

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?).
February 20th, 2010 at 3:23 am
pps can’t open on mac is not work how to get it work
March 6th, 2010 at 7:27 am
你说跟没说一样,还不是得安装模拟机?

August 25th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
看來 沒有這麼簡單的方式在MAC上看PPS
September 30th, 2010 at 2:37 am
帮我 ， 怎么安装 ：（
October 11th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
阮玉俊－
先你要确认你的MAC有INTEL（英特尔）芯片 － 2006年后，所有的MAC应该是英特尔的。然后你要找两个东西： 1）WinXP 安装盘 （网上可以BT下载，或在外面买） 2）VMware Fusion 安装包 （一样可以用BT下载来找）
安装完VMware Fusion之后，就安装最简单的WinXP系统。安装的时候必须确定你的WinXP是中文版本，否则将来设置为中文很麻烦。
如果这个还不够明确，我可以写一个更明细的安装说明。
祝好
October 18th, 2010 at 2:38 am
Hi 阮玉俊, Can you please show me how to download free WinXP and VMware Fusion. And also the detail steps for install the applications..
Thanks
November 16th, 2010 at 4:44 am
If you would prefer not to use PPStream, PPlive has recently released a Mac OS X App. This is great news! See: cool.pplive.com
November 25th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Thank you for the great information, but I still hope they will develop the PPS program for Mac users.
November 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
http://tw.apple.pro/?uid-2-action-viewspace-itemid-6120 while pps is still not mac native Well, PP live (or is it called PPTV now?) has a beta going on now.. i tested it and it worked
Note: FF4 beta doesn’t work with that site for some reason, safari is cool with it tho
December 6th, 2010 at 2:30 am
hi..why i cannot dowload pps?? my cputer is mac…
December 11th, 2010 at 12:42 am
直接bootcamp 装windows 不就好了
December 27th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
@will
呵呵，对呀，可以安装BOOTCAMP，但是那种就无法进行你习惯用的MAC软件，而要一直重新启动。 关键是现代INTEL芯片有针对虚拟机的功能，所以现代iMac跑VMWARE用PPS会感觉速度很快，没有损失。 当然在芯片满内存小的苹果电脑，尤其是MAC AIR，跑PPS不是很现实的选择。
我的下一个项目是用WINDOWS DIY制造一个播放器系统，这样可以用“纯净”的WINDOWS。
January 9th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Is there a way to stream megavideo through VLC? I Have heard rumors about this, but I havent found a good tutorial for this…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Just run Windows from Boatcamp. Now Mac is native support Windows.
January 30th, 2011 at 5:26 am
But theres no problem if I install windows 7, with all the language setting right?
February 2nd, 2011 at 8:40 am
@seo singapore
If you’re an actual Mac user, Bootcamp would be a horrible option for using PPS. If you’ve got VMware Fusion properly configured, you can resize the window, hide it, and move it, all while you’re PPStream content is playing flawlessly. More importantly, Intel’s virtualization technology means that windows in VMware and Windows via rebooting into Boot Camp isn’t a significant speed difference.
Bottom line – VMware let’s you basically forget that PPSteam is running via the Windows Virtual Machine rather than a native Mac OS X app.
February 15th, 2011 at 7:34 am
why don’t they just make a mac version ??? Too hard for them to write the script for mac?? com on … its mac world now… everything is mac dude !!!
March 2nd, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Hello every. we all would like to have PPS on Mac. I have a good suggestion. we all try to contact pps service to ask them great one for Mac. If everyone do that I believe they will make one soon for us…Please contact they and request. Thanks!
March 13th, 2011 at 7:08 am
they have a beta version that you can download for mac, go to cool.pptv.com
April 6th, 2011 at 5:12 am
why my pps stream file in exe?cannot open it
April 16th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
@Adrian-
I agree with you 100%. You would think that PPStream would have a real Mac version, and that the Mac version of QQ would be more equivalent to the Windows version. You would also think that 网上银行 wouldn’t require Windows software to log on – until that day comes, at least we’ve got VMware
June 8th, 2011 at 8:02 am
mac system can totally replace windows if there is a mac version pps, looking forward to it!~

July 11th, 2011 at 5:56 am
because all of you spread infor about pps accross all over the world. we are now unable to watch US MOVIES now, and 一些傻乎乎的中国人以为宣传中国的电影软件给老外就可以发扬中国文化了，可是苦了现在在海外的中国人根本无法观看当地的美国电影和新闻因为大陆人对版权意识的缺乏，真是可恨可憎。
July 11th, 2011 at 6:01 am
一些傻乎乎的中国人以为宣传中国的电影软件给老外就可以发扬中国文化了，而美国电影方面的组织已经知道了版权的危害性，所以要求pps官方关闭一些频道。苦了现在在海外的中国人根本无法观看当地的美国电影和新闻因为大陆人对版权意识的缺乏，真是可恨可憎， 在大陆的中国人无知又愚蠢， 好像他们故意所为就是为了垄断在海外中国人了解外面的世界，google就是一个例子，他们用其它途径去搜寻中国官方关闭的国外网站信息一样。

Dun install PPS, a lot of Spyware/Malware/Adware! Soon your computer will be filled with advertisments of online games, Tshirt, bras and panties!
August 12th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
@MaoZeDong
Try reinstalling PPS and choose “Customize” (自定) during the install process. It will let you choose which associated utilities you want to install. Also, please do not use Chairman Mao’s name as your alias on my website – please use your own name, or a name that you’ve thought of yourself.

@whatever
You are right. Many of the good movies have been removed from PPS. Do you know where to watch the good movies now? You can download from Demonoid, but it takes so long – very slow…
