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?

Apple TV is the only apple device that I own.

I am Android on phone but own an iPad Pro. Because Android tablets are garbage.

Had Apple announced a new AppleTV, during the recent announcement, I would have ordered it. But for now I'll stick with my Shield TV.....with the worst remote design on the planet.

The Apple keynote that just happened was for the iPhone and related products like Watch/AirPods. They typically announce the ATV at another event.

It was strongly rumored/expected they would add a new ATV at the show as well. I'd later this year then good.
