Doesn't the 360 already play any files that are shared on the network? I'm pretty sure I've done that or streamed pictures to my TV through my Xbox or something like that.

No, certain files it cannot.  MP4s for example must be on an attached device, they cannot be streamed.

it can play mp4 with this update

Again, I chose my words carefully.  You cannot stream MP4 files, they must be on an attached device such as a thumb drive or USB hard drive.
