There's a whole bunch of things that will do this. The Popcorn Hour
A110 [1] is one. There's a Freecom device that will do it, too,
although they seem to have discontinued the line that I know about
(it's also sold as an AL Tech [2] MediaGate 350 or 450). TViX [3] have
a range of media players, too.

All of the above devices will read directly from SMB shares. The
A110 and the TViX will read from NFS as well.
