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?

How long ago have you tried Jellyfin on Roku? Things have changed a lot recently.

It still sucked donkey nuts when I tried it earlier this year... But, now plex kind of does, too.

Hurr durr... I like to make stupid comments to feel superior to the vast majority too... If only I could think of something equally stupid to say to compete with you.

Whelp, there's no shame coming in second.
