Media software ala DLink DSM520 ... but for FreeBSD ... ?

I tried the DSM320, wasn't satisfied with it, since a bunch of my videos didn't 
work, and I really hated the interface (would like to be able to delete after 
watching) ... so I returned it.

Is there anything I can do with a plain FreeBSD box to accomplish *at least* 
what the DLink provided?

I have a box now that I can plug into my TV (S-Video with Sound Jacks), which 
is what I was using before ... but, the X display on the TV is terrible, and 
the interface leaves alot to be desired for my wife, so *she* won't use it ...

So ... is there any 'media software' that I can run on FreeBSD that would give 
her a nice interface to work with (web based, maybe, with her using her laptop 
for controls from the couch?) ...

Basically, I can't be the first one trying to do this ... anyone have any good 
recommendations to make it as 'user friendly for non-unix users' as possible?

Thanks ...
