I use the Plex app as well as VLC (and netflix, spotify etc) on my Amazon Firestick and it works great. I guess the only downside is that its related to amazon (as in that they will probably know what i watch etc, not sure if thats true for plex / vlc).

I am pretty sure you can sideload jellyfin on that trhrough adb as well.

I don't really understand the complaints about TV apps for jellyfin: it's pretty much a given for these walled gardens. You're usually better off just hooking up a raspberrypi or firetv stick to your TV, smart or dumb. And CEC is an awesome tool to control everything together.

Jellyfin's available on the Amazon App Store for Fire TV devices: https://www.amazon.com/Jellyfin-for-Fire-TV/dp/B07TX7Z725
