Right now I just have windows shares set up on my media server (just a Windows 7 box really) and I use XBMC as a client to play those (local network only of course).
I want to use XBMC as a client but over the internet instead of local network.
I've tried using a http file server (HFS) but that didn't work either. I'll keep playing and let you know what ends up working.
Why not install a ftp server (fe. http://filezilla-project.org/), register your ip on some free dns host for easy access (fe. dyndns.org) and you're good to go. (I stream 1080p from my brothers nas who lives in another town). On a personal note, this is one of the main features I love about xbmc
