The only reason I still use Plex is that they have (native) apps on nearly every device me and my friends have (tv's, playstation etc.).

I remember starting with XBMC, which had the most beautiful theme's/skins that were really well optimised for the console experience, and there were many of them, all for free.

And now I'm paying for a Plex pass and everything is becoming more clunky and less usable each year, such a shame.

Jellyfin has it for my devices, which are cheap Roku TV's. but yes this is pretty critical that it be compatible with your devices for QOL.

This was the main factor that I checked when switching from Plex to Jellyfin. Was really happy they supported my cheapo Rokus. The apps are perfectly OK. They are less good for music, but the show/movie experience is better than it was for plex after they made it super annoying to get to your collection.
