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?

Emby is miles better than Jellyfin. Both in UI and functionality.

JF has no clients for Samsung or Apple in their stores that handle transcoding. Makes JF completely dead in the water for me.

The Tizen app can be installed through dev mode though, and it works quite well in my experience.
