How to begin setting up a media center? (lemm.ee)

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.

First, do you need it for streamig to different devices (phones tablets, TV), or do you only need it for one device (e.g. the TV).
For the first option I'd choose Jellyfin, for the second option I'd choose Kodi.

Then decide on what device you would like to run it. This also depends on the first option. I can recommend NVidia Shield Pro. I've also run Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 4 before, sometimes this ran a bit laggy.

Finally, look for tutorials on YouTube.
