How do I play Content off my iTunes Share with Ipod Touch?

How do I play Content off my iTunes Share with Ipod Touch? I can control iTunes with touch I can play ipod touch music in iTunes. But I can't figure out how to play my videos and music off my iTunes share like I can on my can computer on network.

Does any one have a clue this is a simple app I could write in a few days if I had the DAAP developer guide.

It's not possible to do it without extra software. If you feel it's necessary, I recommend joining the developer program and writing the app.

I have a feeling, though, that Apple won't approve it.

Looks Like Apple is writing the App.

Apple's experimented with allowing iTunes to stream over the internet as well as your LAN in the past and quickly removed the feature (probably due to RIAA pressure), so we're not placing too much stock in this, but AppleInsider's unearthed a patent that seems to describe a way to stream music over the 'net to your iPhone / iPod touch. The goal is to prevent you from having to selectively sync content to your device -- instead, you'd sync just the metadata and stream whatever you wanted direct from your machine as though it was all stored locally. There are some obvious problems here -- it wouldn't work if you didn't have service (or over EDGE, really), most home upstream connections aren't that fast, etc., etc., -- but it's certainly interesting, and a welcome addition to local storage if it ever makes the scene. In the meantime, how about working in some of those new UI elements from the Remote app into the iPod app?
