... There used to be this little startup company and service, where you could queue movie/TV shows, then you would receive the discs in the mail, with a paid envelope to return them as well... AFAIK - only in the US though, there was much talk at launch of how they got special deals with the US postal service. Whatever happened to those guys...? (https://dvd.netflix.com/) Apparently they still do it - I thought it was phased-out for streaming years ago.

Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a personal media server.
Pricing:
- Open Source
I recommend jellyfin (https://jellyfin.org/). It will require some tech skills to setup, but after that accessing it is as simple as going to the website address it is hosted at. The best thing about Jellyfin is that it is free software: open source, permissive license, and no paid features (which alternatives like Plex have). You can host Jellyfin on your own VPS, I host mine on a Hetzner VPS for just over 10 eur / month but that is very overkill, you can host one for far less. The only thing to keep in mind is that transcoding (streaming in a different resolution to the stored media) is quite computationally expensive so if lot's of people are transcoding at once you will need a good CPU. Then any family member can just visit the IP address of the server in their web browser (or you can buy it a domain name).
