I’ll second emby. Been using it since it was media browser and been rock solid for years. The Server is free but there is a small sub for using the apps though

I have a Plex Media Server, but non on the raspberry pi that execute HA, this besause the streaming is not a light process for RPi.
I have Plex on a dedicated server (or NAS) and then I have connected it to HA for the automations.
The NAS has a internal HDDs consistency check and if you provide a RAID, you can protect your data from lost and also ypi encrease the trhoughtput of your Plex Media Server.
