Emby sounds interesting, thanks.

I’m using Emby for that and loving it (even paying the premium). It’s free too for most features. If i got you right, you have your movies and a pc. Emby runs fine on linux/android/win. Setting up the server is child’s play on win (haven’t tried linux).
If you dislike it and like to tinker more (coz u have to) : Jellyfin (same base as emby).
Or you can pay and go the mainstream-route with plex.
If that is what you’re looking for?

It is. I switched after many years of plex because they started to annoy me. It was a long while ago and zero issues since. Big community and if you’re stuck (which u won’t) you’d get help there

Second Emby. It's a great Plex alternative.
Jellyfin has also been fine.

I switched from plex to jelly, but (at that time, it might be cooler now) it was horrible. Nothing really worked. Then gave emby a try and bougjt premium a week later. It just works. Has a webhook-support (for my smarthome) and whatnot. No crash, no hickup, no glitch. All just works.
