At the moment I am using Minidlna to serve videos and it works like a charm, even with big resolutions. While trying to find a way to deliver stream to the TV from under Mediatomb, it was required to specify some magical header value. Also DLNA players I worked with were extremely picky about the content type you specify. I.e. sending FullHD .ts stream won't work well unless you say it's video/mpeg.

Anyhow, at the moment opensource is only starting to be curious about something other then writing code and compiling it. Too bad they are doing new stuff kind of wrong (see KDE4 and Gnome3, my two major reasons to use Fluxbox).
