If you have android, there exists Mythdroid
http://code.google.com/p/mythdroid. The version that you can get from
the project page will allow some limited streaming capability, again
you need to run a server-side app as well. Unfortunately there's not a
nice package for that version, you'll need to get the android sdk and
build it yourself.

I've attempted to use it a couple times and haven't been impressed
(missing audio, missing video, just plain not working), though I'm
planning to look into it more deeply and try to improve the streaming
functionality.
