I was able to get Mirage on my wife's Atrix to connect to the AirVideo server
I use with my iPhone 4:

It's rather feature-incomplete at the moment (I think you can just start
playing a video and let it run through to the end...no seeking or pausing),
but it's apparently a beta app at this time. The AirVideo server is set to
export the movies and TV shows on a NAS box and the recordings directory on my
MythTV backend; it transcodes on-the-fly to stream over 3G or WiFi.

AirVideo Server runs under Mac OS X or Windows.  There used to be a Linux
version, but I've not been able to get it working in a while.  The Windows
version runs fine on my backend in a minimal WinXP VM.
