Hence why I mentioned VLC Media Player. It can act as a media server and client. So if you have it on your Windows box, it can act as a media server, while on Mint, you can use it as a media client.
Other than that, I am not too sure how to go about it. I did some searches on Google, and haven't come up with anything other than VLC.
