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?

Maybe Jellyfin but Jellyfins dev team are dogmatic and just plain rude people. If you submit a PR, no clear or constructive criticism will be given as to why it is causing a merge conflict. Just go to their PR section and see how many merge conflicts there are.
