If you use mythweb you can access videos via the web interface. You need to setup a symlink in your mythweb directory (on my system /var/www/localhost/htdopcs/mythweb) called video_url which points to the directory where your video files are stored.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/video_url lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 24 23:29 \ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/video_url -> /home/nick/media/movies Then just click on the link in your browser and the file will load across the lan and play in your player.
