I can't really help you with streaming movies since I haven't tried that, but for music most people use Shoutcast.

There are a few SL-specific companies that can provide the servers you'd need. Here's a copy of my notecard I have in the SL Shoutcast vendor in Loon (194, 58, 104):

SL Shoutcast is a music streaming service for Second Life users. It provides subscribers with the ability to stream music from their PC using to anyone visiting their property in Second Life.

Service can be paid on a monthly bases in Lindens or US dollars. IM Johnny Ming or send email to [email]johnny@slshoutcast.com[/email] for more information.

**PRICING**

MONTHLY - L$3500
HOURLY - L$150


**SETUP INSTRUCTIONS**

1. Download and install Winamp from this URL (if you don't already have it):
http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcast.phtml#download

2. Download and install Winamp DJ plugin from this URL:
http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcast.phtml#plugdownload

3. Run Winamp and goto Preferences --> Plugins

4. Select DSP/Effect --> Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source DSP.

5. A new window will pop-up called SHOUTcast Source.This is where the
streaming server connection is setup and where you control the
broadcast. (Note: You can click "Close" on the Prefences window and
the SHOUTcast Source window will stay open.)

6. Click the Output tab. You will need to type in the Adddress, Port,
and Password that we give you on this tab once you are setup to
broadcast from our servers. This won't change as long as you have an
account with us.

7. Click the Encoder tab. Select MP3 Encoder and 64kbps 22.050kHz stereo.

8. If you will not be using a microphone to talk during your
broadcast, you can skip this step! If you are planning on using a
microphone, there's just one more thing to set up. Click on the Input
tab. Change your Input Device to Soundcard Input and Input Settings to
22050Hz, Stereo. The rest can pretty much be left alone, but you can
play with them later. This sets you up so that whatever your computer plays
through its soundcard (including your turntables) will be broadcast to your
guests. Whenever you want to use your microphone, click the Push to
Talk button on this tab.

8. Now, edit the land music URL to be:
http://server3.slshoutcast.com:XXXX

Note:
XXXX = port number given to you during sign up

9. When you are ready to begin broadcasting, you open Winamp.
The Shoutcast Source box will pop up that you did the setup stuff in.
You simply click connect on the Input tab and you are up and running.
