Watch your favorite YouTube content on Kodi. You’ll be able to browse your favorite content from YouTube; create, delete, and rename playlists; subscribe or unsubscribe from your favorite channels; and rate your favorite videos.
I've barely configured it beyond giving the SMB paths to my video collection. I ignore all the meta-data rubbish it wants to add, and just browse to what I want to watch via the text-based list that's built into the default skin. It's all running on a Raspberry Pi 3b hooked into my big home theatre rig.
Granted, 90% of my Kodi viewing is Dr Who episodes[2] so I'm probably not the target market for it, but as long as you don't fiddle with it, it works just fine.
What I WOULD like is a new skin that strips everything out of the UI except my video library. I have absolutely no use for the music section, the photos(who seriously uses that?!) or the weather. I've briefly looked into the XML that is used for Kodi skinning, but life is too short for me even to want to go there.

You can mix-and-match too! Plex puts out an official Kodi plugin: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-for-kodi .
I have found that after trying a bunch of different setups during the years. Kodi, Plex, etc. I have settled on using: Sonarr[0], Radarr[1] and Lidarr[2]; combined with Jacket[3] and your favorite torrent downloader (I use Deluge). Add the TV Series you follow or movies you want to watch.
This setup downloads everything for me once a movie or episode becomes available to download, and then I only watch content that is already downloaded using VLC. This is pretty good specially if your Internet connection is a bit spotty at times.
I've been using this setup for years now, and I'm pretty happy with it.

>If a solution covers these aspects well enough without having to share telemetry,
MythTV[0] does okay with video and music libraries.
It's available as packages on most distributions[1] which allows me to keep my front end and back ends synched just by performing regular package updates.
It is open source and can also be compiled from source[2] if you prefer it that way.
I run my back end on a VM with 4GB RAM and 2 vCPUs. My back end is a fanless miniPC[3] (I bought it almost three years ago, so I'm sure you can do better now for the same money) which renders 1080p/Stereo (I don't have a surround-sound system, but that's definitely supported) via HDMI pretty flawlessly. I imagine that a newer front end device could easily handle 4K (although I don't have a device to display that) resolution.
It's not perfect by any measure, but it does the job without telemetry or external dependencies.
Core MythTV development seems pretty active, but the broader "ecosystem" (plugins, addons, etc.) is very weak.

I've found https://jellyfin.org/ to be the best solution for my needs, but the setup is more involved.
The "file system" is stupid-easy: just a JSON file renamed to `.vha2` -- see the interface here: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/blob/main/interfac...
I've had no problems with 20,000 videos in a "hub" and I've heard people pushing past 100k. JavaScript has no problem applying .filter() across this many objects quickly.
Each search is its own .filter method (inside an Angular pipe) so every search should be virtually instant. And since the screenshots are pre-extracted (the most time-consuming part of using the app), you should be able to infinite-scroll with no delays in loading previews.
