Basically, a modified version of a Netflix-like service. For greatest compatibility, transcoding into Flash might be the easiest/best.
Check out Orb. I used it years ago. Basically it logs into a central server, and you can visit a webpage link and your entire media library is at hand.

Winamp had an implimentation of it running. Played everything.

Worked on my iphone, mac, pc, everywhere I had internet. In-house too.
