Default Remotely play video files on LG Thrill

I have ripped most of my DVDs to files on a data drive on my home computer. Does anyone know if there is an app or cloud based solution, or another way of being able to access and play them on my Thrill when I am not at home?

Go to getjar.com and get the get jar app. Open it and go to the apps section. Look through the gold apps or search for SECuRET Livestream, get jar has it for free usually costs. You will download that, probably have to download and setup a program on your PC once done you should be able to stream audio and video from your PC.

For audio you can also use Google music which allows you to sync your music collection with Google then anywhere you are you can stream your music collection and even make certain songs available offline.
Slowly working my way back into the scene.

Do you have utorrent? Install it on your computer and point it towards the directory your movies are in. You then need to set up a utorrent account. And finally get the utorrent remote app from the market. You can now remotely stream video/music from your computer to your phone. This is how I do it. The one catch is that you have to keep utorrent running on your computer so your phone can communicate with it. This isn't bad, just a fyi. And I'm sure that's required of any program that streams from your computer.

And its all free.
