Hi Bob,
No, it is not my media machine only. I used it for my content creation work, testing database engines, work with other virtual machines, etc.
Of course, I'm not using it 24/7 so most of the time I'm not there while my wife or are me pulling the streaming, but I have not seen any performance degradation when using PLayOn inside a virtual machine. As a matter of fact, runs very smoothly even though the Mini is wifi connected, not directly plugged into the router.
I did not want to buy a dedicated machine just for media streaming.
Let me know if you need additional details about my PlayOn or Mac Mini setup.
