Plex Media Server

Software: Software Name
Why\Problem Solved: Plex allows you to organize and stream you backed up physical media files. Plex Media Server runs locally on your own hardware and support Windows & Linux. (I host on Linux) Plex has apps for IOS, Android and most smart tvs and media players (Apple TV, Roku).
Cost: Free\$6.99mo\$249.99 Lifetime Link: Plex Media Server
Plex Pass
Tips:
  • I've been using Plex before the price increase and change to require plex pass for sharing outside your home. If I was starting now I would take a good long look at Jellyfin first as that is opensource and free.
  • Plex can handle photos and music as well as your movies.
