My setup: (all free software)
I run universal media server on my PC. I had to set up a DNS site to tie my IP router address to. Its simple with freedns. Follow their instructions and it should only take 30 mins or so. You would need to open ports on your router to allow outside access.
I have android phones and tablets, so I use UPnPlay to access my media.
I got Plex for free from amazon, but haven't had a chance to set it up and try it remotely.
Side note: if you use all PC's windows media player can be used to stream media anywhere. I don't use it, but have tried it and it worked well.
