Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
