    Well you really do not need to stream from PC just share the folder containing the movie you want to watch on your pc and use media player on vuplus to play movie from that share.

    Which image are you using on your Duo?
    I know that on mine, which has openPLI on it, I had to go through the networking setup menu and define a new "share", and in so doing, navigate to the folder I wanted to use on my computer. That folder also had to be one that was being shared by SMB. Maybe something similar applies to your set up.

    Is it some Windozer "permissions" thing? Is there something that needs to be done to mark that folder as publicly visible, or some authentication information that needs to be set somewhere?

    Long ago I chose to avoid Microsoft products wherever possible (because of exactly this sort of nonsense!), so I can't offer much help, sorry.
    But - wade through this and see if it makes any sense:
