No. It requires your files to be a format iTunes understands (which mostly limits it to stuff bought in the i-store) and in a iTunes media-library on a PC running on your network. Which for most non-Appleheads is pretty bad and for some (like me) even a no-go.

It could be worse though. In the olden days you had to synch the media to your Apple TV before being able to play it.
