There was a discussion here recently[0] where many people recommended Jellyfin in conjunction with its apps[1] for Android, Android TV, Roku, etc. I have never used Jellyfin before but their recommendations made me put it on my list of things to look into.

So what are you (and GP) missing from those apps?

I’ll caveat by saying it’s been a while since I looked into it but last I checked the UIs weren’t super intuitive. This is a rare tech thing my entire family uses so that’s a much bigger factor than it usually is for me. I admit there’s also an extent to which Jellyfin can’t win here: my family always knows the Plex apps very well, switching would be a pain and (from their perspective at least) not have any notable advantages.
