If you DON'T need to serve media to other devices and just want a well-supported, highly-customizable home theater front-end, look at [Mediaportal](http://www.team-mediaportal.com/), [Jriver](https://www.jriver.com/) or [Kodi](http://kodi.tv/). All three will pull down metadata for the media you point them to, keep track of what you have watched/haven't watched, keep playback progress, pass-through HDR, and play from your internal or network storage. For Kodi, start with Kodi's [First Time User guide](https://kodi.wiki/view/First_time_user) and 3rd party guides like [this](https://androidpcreview.com/how-to-setup-kodi-the-right-way/). For the others, venture over to their subreddit or forums for setup help.

For playback of 3D MVC/Frame-Packed/SBS content, read the [guide here](https://www.reddit.com/r/htpc/comments/115ap94/how_to_get_full_hd_3d_frame_packing_from_a_pc_or/)

**Media Servers:**

If you DO need to serve media to other devices (local or remote), [Plex Media Server](https://www.plex.tv) is very popular and will index your media, pull metadata (like cover art/plot/cast/tv show data), track what you have watched/haven't watched and stream it out to your client devices. It also has a [wide range of player apps](https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-app) to install on your client devices. For PC specifically, there is Plex HTPC (keybrd/remote-based) and Plex for Windows (mouse-based). If you don't like the plex-branded ones, you can, alternatively, integrate the [Kodi](https://kodi.tv/addons/matrix/script.plex) player with the Plex server. For alternatives to Plex Media Server, there is [Emby](http://emby.media/) and [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/). See our [dedicated section](/wiki/faq#can-i-streamhow-do-i-serve-my-content-from-another-computer-or-a-networked-storage-device) for more information.
