Media Player Box for my TV
HaRuMaN:
Hmm... I have VLC player on both my PC and laptop, I didn't know you could use those to stream... interesting.

Skip the pc by the TV and get a media mvp. The software that comes with it is nice, but there are a number of third party apps that are way better. Add a tuner card on the server and you'll also have full dvr capabilities. That's really what the 3rd party apps are based around, but they will also do all the other stuff you mentioned. I'm running this setup and love it!! You can also set this up in multiple locations by getting more mvp's.
Here are some links:

He did say he wants to do it with hardware he has on hand... that's a $100 product... he could do two XBMC Xboxes for that price.

Videolan doesn't officially support 98... that would make me to go linux if they support that. Going to linux would definitely fix his ram shortage.
I would think getting the amount of ram XP needs would cost the same as a used Xbox unless he has a cheap source.

It's not offically supported but i believe it can stream altho im not sure it wont harm him in downloading and trying :) but you are correct it fully doesn't work.
Im sure there is a linux on a floopy that is used just for streaming with VLC
