I would also recommend checking out "StreamToMe"[1] and its server/transcoding app "ServeToMe". The client app works on iOS and Mac, while the server app works on both mac and windows.
The good support for most audio and video formats (including the ability to stream the original file or transcode it to reduce bit-rate) and the dead simple set up are great.
I am quite impressed with how it works, and find it much easier to work with than Subsonic and other Java based media.
