With XBMC you should be able to serve the media libraries contents via UPnP, then watch it on your TV. There's no such server like plex has.

How can i do it Confused

I have a NAS. So how can i do it via UPnP Confused

(sorry if i seem stupid hehe)

Once the media is scanned to the XBMC libraries you just need to enable the UPnP sharing in system settings -> network.

It would work but why would you want to?? The SMART TV stuff is pretty woeful compared the the XBMC experience..

Samsung TV's use DLNA via PC share manager or Allshare not UPNP

DLNA == UPnP.

Buy a small computer or an Apple TV 2 (or wait for a jailbreak for Apple TV 3) and install XBMC on that. No happiness will be found on the path you currently seek. Only pain and suffering.

They have to be of a type that the Samsung can play back.
