Best App / Method for "Streaming" my Own Videos?

by hmbse7en

Hi there!

I have a number of video files that I've ripped from my DVDs (that I own) over the years so that I can store the content digitally (mostly as MP4 files). I'm wondering if anyone could recommend any methods to set these videos up to be accessible on my Google TV (via Chromecast w/ Google TV). The ideal is something that I can set up that's easy-enough to navigate and use so that my 6-year-old can find the movies he likes just using the standard remote that comes with the Chromecast w/ Google TV (he doesn't have a mobile device or tablet).

I know this is an out-there kind of request, so any guidance is truly appreciated!

Plex is built for your exact use case. If the seniors in my family can use it, your 6yo will have no trouble
