Default New to android, is the following possible?

Hello

First post here, and my first android phone incoming.

I have always been heavily been invested in apple products, but im getting tired of them.

So now i finally made the jump, sold my ip4 and orderd a galaxy s2.

But my ht setup is kinda the way i like it now, so im gonna to ask some questions.

I have a bunch of mkvs on my pc, i do have a TV with allshare/dlna. But im wondering if its possible to use like metadata agent with scrapes all the moveis i have on my PC/network. So i can view the movie info etc on my android phone, then send the movie from my pc to my tv trough the phone, if you know what i mean.

Its kinda hard to explain, but its quite important to me.

I use plex now on my ipad 2, it scrapes from my pc and sends it from the ipad to the tv using airplay.

I guess mvideoplayer cant access movies/files on the network, i see that its metadata support, i like covers, info etc.

Sorry for all the rambling, but to summarize (since i know nothing about android).

Is there a way to stream content (which is on the pc/network) through my phone to my allshare/dlna TV, trough an app that shows metadata.

First, of all, welcome to Android.
You will not regret the move from iOS to Android.

I think this is what you are asking about. The following is from the Galaxy 2 website:

"AllShare
Show off? Why not when it’s this easy. AllShare lets the Samsung GALAXY S II link wirelessly with a TV, laptop or even audio system to play multimedia files directly from the phone. AllShare synchronizes the phone with a compatible DLNA based product. So start the streaming to the big screen in HD. That’s media convergence made simple!"
