Looking for a relatively inexpensive network storage system to rip my DVD to that can be accessed wirelessly through computers and TV in the home

I was going to suggest Plex, I have been a long time user. Your TV is it not Smart App capable, because the Plex app should be available, but you already probably crossed that bridge.

I think that it's just the Western Digital software. A couple of months ago I couldn't access the MyCloud on anything but a pc or my phone. Tonight, I am able to access the MyCloud on my Nvidia Shields, my phone, my tv (via VLC), and via a browser on my pc. But, I can't use the Western Digital software to access the Western Digital MyCloud.

It's likely that nothing will work next week.

If you are the type that likes tinker you can roll your own with Raspberry PI. Very small footprint.

How many DVDs are we talking? I don't really do DVDs any more, but the ones I have are ripped onto a 1TB HD and I just run a PLEX server off of my main desktop for the (very) few times that I actually need to access it. If I'm watching something from PLEX, then I'm not using the PC, so I don't care much about the performance (though it's not much of a hit anyway).

The real fun is mapping my Google Drive as a drive for PLEX via Google Drive Sync. Then I can store my stuff in the cloud (unlimited storage on Google Drive) but watch it through PLEX. Best of both worlds.

Ideally I would want to be able to rip it as an image and still be able to use menus and extra features. Also, able to process and play 4k

I would go with Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation DS920+, upgrade the memory to 8GB and set it up as a Plex server.
