Total n00b here, so I apologize if these questions are very rudimentary. I'm researching what I need to stream a movie collection to two HDTVs, some ipods, and android devices. My primary concern is being able to browse or search the movies based upon metadata. I'm basically trying to re-create the netflix experience with my personal movie collection (I have over 800 DVDs and 100+ blu-rays I plan to rip to my BIG server).
I have seen how XBMC and WMC with Media Browser plug-in work and they both would fit my criteria for presentation on screen.
Is this something intrinsic to Mezzmo, where any compatible DLNA player, such as a Panasonic Viera HDTV, will offer that browsing experience?
Or do I need yet another two devices, such as an XBMC or WMC box to output HDMI to each TV?
I'm trying to minimize hardware for the sake of marital harmony and I need simplicity for the sake of the kids. Any suggestions, links to relevant guides or tutorials, are all greatly appreciated.
TIA!
