What do you all use for music vidoes? (alien.top)

I'm using Navidrome for my music, but what is the best way to host music videos? Just treat them as videos as stream through plex or similar app? Or is there a music player that supports music videos?

I don't host music videos, but if I did I'd just put them on my Plex/Jellyfin server. Both services deliver video of any codec to any device reliably, which can't be said for all self-hosted apps. I also quite like both Navidrome and Plexamp and don't see a good reason to switch. If I had a huge music video library that needed organization by artist and genre, then maybe I'd try Ampache. It looks a bit basic, but does offer support for music videos alongside your main music library.
