You still need local (to the player) access for encrypted ISOs.  The 
only difference (in one of the versions, but I forgot which first 
included it) is that Video Library will use the local copy in preference 
even if the file is "hosted" on another system, assuming you've network 
mounted the file system with the ISO in the same location on the frontend.
