That's not telling me what happened, that's as good as telling me nothing. It's akin to people who ring up tech support saying "
I got an error but i closed it before reading it".
At which point did it fail specifically? Did you check the logs? There's so much information you could glean to help us but didn't.

So instead you'd rather use a crappy kludge that doesn't work properly and then spend hours QQing on here that you cannot perform the impossible? Smart move mate
Also, if you bothered to follow our advice rather than creating this retarded thread then proceeding to ignore
every single person then you'd see you don't have to right click every episode. But then why should i bother helping you when it's pretty obvious you don't want to help yourself?
Sorry for being so blunt but I really am getting fed up with how thankless this thread has become. Quite frankly, I'd have expected better from a forum mod.

Fair enough there, XBMC addons can be a little hit and miss. I run Linux XBMC so cannot test the Silverlight powered plugins unfortunately (which was the reason I closed my Netflix account less then one month after signing up)
Wait a second here...... I'll go through this in order to make sure I don't miss any points I wanted to make.....
1) I appologize for my lack of knowledge in regards to DLNA servers such as Subsonic. I have only ever setup playon. Playon works, Subsonic did not. I added my media folders to the library in the web interface, and it kept saying that there was no media present. Aka, it didn't work. I couldn't find logs, as it was uninstalled quite quickly since there was no way to get my media to read on it.
2) When I first started setting up my DLNA server almost a year and a half ago, I got ZERO responses to my questions on how to set it up. Quite literally. I bumped it for about a week...there were no responses, so I went and bought playon....and it worked. It just flat out worked. My TV reads it natively, my HTPC's read it because my HTPC's use XBMC. This "project' I have going right now isn't a massive priority. Our 2 year old can deal with jittery Spongebob for all I care about, he's 2. When we can afford a better machine in its place, it'll be ran like every other HTPC in the house more than likely (reading the file shares, DLNA use for Netflix, Hulu, etc....the online stuff).
Also, nobody has ONCE told me how to setup XBMC to do what I'm wanting (easy way to play everything in a folder with the click of a button). I was told to use the mouse, and setup a queue. I did that, and it requires me to do it manually.....one movie file (episode) at a time. So to me personally, its not as easy as a click of a button...which is why I was saying XBMC is a no go.
3) I do apologize if it seems I'm being "thankless". And....not to be rude, but I have nothing to say thank you for as of yet, as I still don't have something that works properly. None of the advice given so far has either A) functioned at all or B) functioned with "ease of use". There's no reason to bring up that I'm a moderator, I am no different than any other member. I was asking a question on how to do something, and I was hoping for responses and help...not personal attacks.
