How to stream TV/Films/Music over the internet to various devices from a home server?

1

Set up: An always on old-ish laptop connected to a NAS which contains TV/Films/Music.

I want to be able to stream on the fly the data on my NAS to various connected devices such as iphone or laptop. I am currently using Orb (orb.com) mycast software but the requirements for the streaming are very high in terms of processing power is there alternative software and dedicated hardware i can add to get maximum benefit from this setup?

the problem with vlc is you have to set up vlc to stream the video you want - there is no ability to browse from the remote location. – None – 2009-08-24T16:02:44.653
