Well I access samba networks from my Google nexus using a variety of software and I'm currently browsing using a plugin for android total commander as we speak so I think this has developed further than it used to. As regards memory and cache I see your point but it's not dissimilar to the way plex for android works,, but obviously that brings to a client / server state as you suggest.
You have the ground work already by coding effectively natively for android using Java. However point taken on mediainfo lib would be a major stumbling block.
It's a shame as now, on my tablet, I can download, copy and even play new media using sabnzb and plex or xbmc remotely from wherever I am but cannot index the files like I can on my laptop using windows. There's currently nothing that resembles ember or your program available and I do see mobile tablets and phones replacing computer operations somewhat in the future.
