Has anyone seen something along these lines for very innocent "G" rated family videos? I recently went through a major VHS digitization project and it would be amazing to have something of this quality to host them. I haven't looked closely at the project enough yet to see if this could easily be adapted. I'm concerned that the adult content focus around performers and acts might make it hard to adapt.

Plex is usually the go to for this. Edit: Someone else mentioned Jellyfin, which is a great free option.

  Eagle is also pretty good for managing random videos in a tag-based manner: https://eagle.cool https://eagle.cool

  Emby also works well - https://emby.media/ https://emby.media/

Personally I think Jellyfin is going to be a better solution for hosting family-friendly media for the home.

I would think you could adapt most of it. 'Performers' just becomes 'People'. And 'Scenes' are still that, just different sets of keywords. I think the harder part is just getting all the data tagged properly. Although it also reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24839848 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24839848 where he discusses his solution to digitizing and hosting the videos. He used Mediagoblin.

  He didn't really talk Mediagoblin up very much. It just didn't seem too appealing although it's still on my mind.

I second Jellyfin. Ecosystem support is improving, and it's committed to staying open-sourced.

I suppose I hadn't considered bending the Library system of Plex or Jellyfin to this task. What is appealing about Stash though is that there's nothing to teach the user about. Point them to the URL and away they go as if it were YouTube. I'll take a closer look at Jellyfin though. Thanks!
