Very similar to what I have running. I acquired a D-Link DNS 323, put 30TB of storage in it. You can also load it up with funplug for additional features. Then I have a micro pc running windows 10 for Kodi and a Plex server. The plex server is to share my library across all devices on my home network.

Yes it requires an account with PLEX, but it doesn't need a constant internet connection for the server. How you get your library of videos to the NAS is something you'll have to handle. There are numerous means.

My wife likes Poirot, for example, and it is no longer streaming. We bought the box set, ripped it to our library and she watches on her laptop, or the bedroom TV at night or wherever in the house. We use Kodi but with all the computers upgrading to Win 10 and no homegroup we have to rebuild the library so we might switch to Plex and try it. The free version.
