Have not given MediaTomb a try since it takes a lot of steps on the Mac. I tried a Java-based server, TwonkeyVision, and MediaConnect360 and none of them worked. I am guessing that stuff is just encoded in such a way that DLNA just doesn't have streaming support.
I don't know about that, since earlier versions of MediaTomb had problems streaming some file types to the PS3, but as time went on, they fixed the problems that I had seen. I think I tried TwonkeyVision back when I was looking for ways to stream, and I don't think it worked very well with the PS3. So I'd say that MediaTomb is probably worth the effort to compile.

Have you tried using MediaTomb? I used it from my Linux box, and it worked like a charm.
