Hey everyone!

I’ve got a pretty big collection of downloaded videos — things like fitness routines, language learning courses, tutorials, and other miscellaneous stuff. I’m looking for a good way to organize them locally.

Recently I came across Stash, which actually seems really powerful in terms of tagging, grouping, and searching. The only catch is that it's mainly geared toward adult content, and while I love the features, some of the built-in stuff feels unnecessary for my use case. 😅

I already use Jellyfin for movies and TV shows, and I’d prefer to keep that library clean — don’t really want to mix in workout videos and language lessons there.

So I’m looking for something with the following:

  • Strong tagging and filtering options (I want to group videos by topic, difficulty, etc.)
  • Fast and easy search
  • Some kind of visual library or dashboard
  • Must be self-hosted — I want to keep everything local. So Plex is off the table.

Anyone know of any tools or services I should check out? Or maybe some creative setups with existing media servers that could work for this kind of collection?

Thanks in advance!
