Aslong as its on the same network as the machine your trying to play from or you have it hooked up via an ethernet cable directly it should work fine.

Windows media player

Windows media center

http://xbmc.org/

There your 3 choices for it anyway, need atleast one on the machine with the stuff you trying to play then just google a guide on how to set it up, its fairly straight forward, XBMC has a guide iirc aswell.

it it also for indie developers who write apps/games for the 360 via XNA

Yeah so long as they're on the same network and you have set up the xbox as an extension in media center or allowed media sharing to it through media player. Depending on what you have available/how you want to do it.
