Humm, i'm pondering on whether or not I could use the streaming media idea to watch xvid/divx on my xbox360 via media center extender (which has no xvid codec) ... which would save me from the painful conversion process to a supported format. Given the media extenders ability to play streaming formats, and its ability to run nearly any program that is hosted on the windows pc, perhaps it would work... Also it will host a website which you could navigate to for controlling the videos.
One thing I know it will do for sure is display anything you could display in IE, perhaps a full screen streaming video plugin in a webpage.
