Firstly, it doesn't deal with video as well as it deals with music. Only a very narrow selection of video will work, and even then, it may struggle to play correctly.
The other disadvantage to using iTunes in this way is that it can cause some strange glitches. For instance, when putting an audio drama into the Audiobook category, you may discover some strange duplications of your files depending on how you're looking at your collection. Overall, iTunes is a very slick option that is simple to use but comes with restrictions that might make it less than suitable if you have a large collection of eclectic files.
Plex is a well-known media streaming service that offers a huge number of options, no matter what you want to do with your media library.
If you have an even mixture of media types and want access to your media across your entire home network, Plex could be your solution. Setting up Plex is different depending on what you want to use it for. If you only want a free, ad-supported streaming service, then you can just use the browser application or install it onto your desktop, and you're away. You could even download and install the Plex Arcade to add game streaming to the platform. However, if you need a proper media library, you'll need to install the Plex Media Server for Windows.
This software will start each time you boot your computer and allows you to access your media library from anywhere on your home network. The first time you boot the media library, you'll be asked to select the folders on your computer that contain your media files.
Once you've done this, you should find all your media automatically available on all 3 variants of Plex's software, although you'll have to take a few more steps to get things looking nice and clean. Plex will search for media information about your library automatically, but it won't always find information on everything.
You can take an extra step if you want to make it easy to scan through visually. Click the 3 dots on your media, and select match
