I have a pi, smb, an usb-drive and open movies directly. I never really understood the streaming thing.

You can keep your media on a server that lives in another room or a cupboard somewhere, and then play on any device you feel like.

I've never used xbmc, but using a DLNA server, a phone with an app like skifta and various dumb music endpoints and smart-TV style video endpoints, you can use your phone to throw media from the server to anywhere in the house. It's rather cool :)
