Maybe you need to change the settings for the video being streamed. I forgot which one as I don't have the N900 anymore. Maybe see if your upload speed is sufficient to handle streaming the video. The settings are on the bottom of the page I think where it shows the speed of the stream. Make sure you do a test to see which speed is good for you. Try the different codecs to see which works the best for you.

Think i've worked out what going on, my windows file server hasn't got enough power to transcode the video files for the N900 which is why it only streams audio.
I tried using Knots and got much better results and video streamed although it was very jerky, my old Pentium III in my file server just cant keep up.

Thanks ukki, the passthrough profile has done the trick (also i dont have any HD material), my PIII fileserver isn't even breaking sweat
and the N900 playback seems faultless.Wonderful stuff
my daughter will be very happy she can now watch tom and jerry

What is a passthrough profile? Is this something on Windows or the N900? Sorry for being a n00b. I have the same issue as fuel with my N900 and Orb. I can play Music but cant watch any videos.
Any help appreciated.

Ive got orb up and running on my windows box over my wireless LAN and the N900 detects orb.
Music streams fine but the video just wont play.
If i put the same video files locally on the N900 it plays without fault.
ive also tried TVersity just to see if i can replicate the problem with orb, which i can.
Any suggestions are much appreciated, as i'm sure i'm overlooking something quite simple.
