Searching for a 'library manager' that looks awesome. (lemmy.world)

As the title says. I have been searching for something like Kodi but more focused on an offline library manager for all the media I have. I can just navigate with the file explorer through my folders but it just looks not that pretty. Is there anything like a library manager to display my videos/music in a similar way of big online platforms? Since I have a lot of things to watch on my drive I don't actually use much internet lately and I'm searching for something like a good looking UI, but probably I'm not very good at searching :(

Do you know a anything like that?

What's wrong with Kodi - it has a lot of skins you can use to change the appearance to look like streaming services'

...If it's because it's a mess to use, totally get you lol, but if you're willing to arrange & rename the files to be scanned properly then kodi works pretty well as an offline media library.

I usually scan my media with Media Elch before I move it into Kodi/Jellyfin then I know the files and folders have the right names and all Metadata is correct.

TV shows are grabbed, named and tidied with pyMedusa.

I use Kodi on a RaspberryPi with the Jellyfin add-on so if I watch something remotely then the watched status is synced everywhere.
