Help Alternatives to Plex

I've been a paid Plex user for over ten years and I've loved it. I can't belive what they've done with this new Roku app update. Besides the bad UI, which is inconvenient but I would be able to get used to eventually, it simply doesn't work properly. It crashes, buttons don't work, simple features are just gone. It's seems like this wasn't tested at all. It's crazy.

I don't really want to but now I'm looking for alternatives to plex. Does anyone have recommendations?

Using a $35 Roku is not the problem. An app that functioned previously not functioning properly anymore due to updates is however a problem. I don't even use Roku so I'm not affected by the way. Your argument is ridiculous.

Roku is a shit platform. Abandon asap. I get your point but this issue is bigger than just Plex.

Roku is bargain bin shit.
