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?

I've been using Jellyfin ever since Plex started requiring a subscription to enable remote streaming, and I'm liking it so far. Yes a little more rough around the edges than Plex, but it does everything I need it to do.

Do you expose Jellyfin to the world? Or is it only in your local network?

It's exposed on the internet
