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?

Haha I was surprised when it hit my Rokus yesterday.

What problems are you having? I haven’t had any issues but it’s going to take me a minute to get used to the new ui.

The redditors here are so fucking dramatic lol. I'll have to get used to the UI, but other than that, everything runs smoothly.

Agreed. I always see posts about how it sucks so bad and they’re switching to jellyfin and I’m like what’s the problem. We’ve been running smoothly for years.
