How to begin setting up a media center?

I have 16TB NAS dedicated to storing TV shows. It is just a cabinet with ryzen 2600 and no graphics card. I have installed openmediavault in it to access it via smb to other devices. I am an absolute noob in setting up a server. Please tell me how I should go on about turning it into a media consumption machine.

P. S: I usually use VLC on android and MPV on linux to consume the media.

I would recommend setting up jellyfin as it has a nice streaming interface and it's pretty straightforward to set up

Seconded. It will work for your Linux/Android use case and has apps for some smart TV devices, if that's useful.

Nice interface and Jellyfin in one sentence, my heart. I get recommending it based on it being FOSS, but for the interface?

it's honestly pretty good I haven't had an issue and the overall experience has been awesome
