    Default Streaming media

    Another tech question.

    I used to use an old modded XBox running XBMC in our bedroom - it was on the home network, and could see the movie files on the server and then stream them to bedroom tv. I found XBMC fast, flexible and could play lots of formats (like avi, ISO, IMG, etc). But, the old Xbox couldn't handle WMV files - which sucks.
    And then my old Xbox died.

    So I'm wondering, does anyone out there have a recommendation for a new Media Streaming solution - fast and easy way to stream media files (movies in all formats) from the server to the bedroom tv???

    Thanks for any suggestions?

    The 360 does it (and will also play anything WMP supports if you're streaming via that), I think the PS3 is similarly-specced.
