Wanting to leave pl""x

[Robert526 0]

I had windows home media server until they stopped support, so I was forced to use server 2016 and at the time pl""x was the big player so I got a lifetime pass. Now over 10 years they became so complicated that sharing even files to my self is 4 weeks of forum support and seems they want to get into everything but not stick to their core values. Im a simple man that wants to share pics, movies, docs across home network and through apps. I need a simple setup that just works. Id post this in a server forum but didnt see that option.  Whit apps I mean the native app I can install in my car and stream my movies or share them with wife. Nothing crazy and something easy to setup on network without getting comcast involved. Im tired of what I have but would this be a good fit for me? if so and how. I dont see a windows server download for this, is this supported?

Edit: Btw, you're allowed to say PLEX, we don't bite.  

Edit2: Though I do keep a tool at hand (or in hand, depends how one looks at it). Swoosh!!!

Very different then there. Seems more relaxed thank you. If anyone else wants to chime in im all and yeah I feel stupid asking on forums there because I feel like I should code and post some logs i dont understand.

No worries, just go through the above links, download and install server; if you hit a wall at any point during the process, just post again here.
