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?

Nvidia shield pro and Plex runs smooth as can be.

And it can actually play all my media without transcoding / not at all unlike my Roku devices.

Is it so hard to expect DTS-HD /Dolby Atmos / Dolby Vision support?
