Every few years I try Jellyfin, and each time it really fails bad.

I need it to work on Roku.

I need it to work on my phone.

Working on XBox is nice.

The last time I tried it, it couldn't handle a folder with hundreds of videos. I don't remember the problem, but I think clicking on one video would play a completely different video.

And their DVR support was really, really bad (I heavily use Plex for OTA DVR - it is awesome).

I definitely would like to use Jellyfin as an alternative, but it's never "just worked" for me.
