I use a Rock64 for that (took over from an Orange Pi plus) I use SAMBA for file shares with other computers, Owncloud for remote access to files and for media serving, Minidlna. Works great, especially with the USB3 support. I also cheat horrendously by using Webmin to administer the system rather than having to ssh into the Rock64 as I run it headless. As for playback, I do not like to add the extra burden, so I use the minidlna to serve to an amazon firestick and a 'smart' blue ray player.
