Stream Movies

[Enquiries]

Hello,

I have a few videos and would like to transfer them to my NAS, a 14TB Synology NAS, to view my movies on my television.

I also have a terabyte of music.

I have read your article on https://nascompares.com/guide/plex-vs-jellyfin-vs-emby-on-a-nas-which-is-best-for-your-synology-qnap-truenas-or-other-nas/.

I’m not interested in paying a subscription but being able to manage my items.

It sounds like you’ve got a great setup for streaming and managing your media! Since you’re not keen on paying for subscriptions but still want a smooth media experience, here are your options:

Jellyfin – Free and open-source. It’s a solid choice for streaming both videos and music to your TV without the need for any subscriptions. It has a similar interface to Plex and works great on Synology NAS.

Emby – There’s a free version of Emby that you can use, but some premium features require a subscription. Still, the free tier might be enough for basic streaming of your movies and music.

Plex (Free Tier) – Plex offers a free version where you can stream your media, but some advanced features are locked behind the Plex Pass subscription. However, if you’re fine with basic functionality, you could still give Plex a try.

Recommendations:
For a subscription-free experience, Jellyfin might be your best bet. It’s flexible and community-supported, making it perfect for streaming without monthly costs.

If you’re happy with basic features and don’t mind some limitations, Plex’s free tier could also work for you.
