Windows Home Server is really great because of the specific design to support outside software apps. Downloaded a few of the basic free apps, but was wondering which of the streaming media based apps (free or paid) are the best for a home media center.
 
TV4all, twonky, ps3 mediaserver, icecast, firefly, and don't forget to turn DE off to stream. Green drives can occasionally underperform on WHS for streaming.

Quick update, I never turned DE off, and streaming 1080p video is smooth as can be. 100% glitch free, no dropped frames, no problems at all. Using a WD TV Live Plus media player (hard wired).
