Connect360 was not bad for xbox, they also do a PS version, but for straight media serving, Plex no question. Lightweight Universal Media Server consumes less device resources compared to similar apps. It supports any device capable of DLNA and runs on all major operating systems: Windows, OS X and Linux. If you need this its a mixed bag regarding codec support, and I found the issues with other servers made the solution less viable. Universal Media Server is a media server capable of serving videos, audio and images to any DLNA-capable device. From my perspective, I needed something to access my library, rather than rely on hardware specific transcoding. The only thing I can't comment on is transcoding I assume their clients manage this. Click the Turn on media streaming button to enable the media-streaming server. Click the Media streaming options link under Network and Sharing Center. To activate it, open the Control Panel and search for media using the search box at the top right corner of the window. Don't want to name names but I've pretty much tried them all. Windows has an integrated DLNA server you can enable. Plex takes a while to run through a big, say 3tb collection but it genuinely has been the most painless and reliable of all I've tried and the searchable options are far more varied and sensible than those for others. This may sound set up but save yourself the pain and effort and try Plex first.
I have an iMac and MacBook Pro both running Mountain Lion, and the iMac now serves my xbox, wdtv live and archos 7 faultlessly. Plex server is totally free but you can pay for mobile clients. But then last week I found a poster who recommended Plex media server and its so good I'm trying to find the post and poster to thank him. I've had this same frustrating hunt for ages, tried and found all of them to have serious issues either with usability or actual functionality.
