I've stopped recommending Plex to newcomers, because Jellyfin is ready for families now (www.xda-developers.com)

Edit: Apparently a client for Apple TV does exist, I'm gonna check it out, as soon as they implement adding subtitles in the client.

I don’t understand what you mean by doesn’t exist. Swiftfin is an official native client app that works on all iOS type devices including Apple TV.

You press down on the Apple Remote to see subtitle options

Infuse and Swiftfin exist? Infuse does require a purchase for certain features but Swiftfin certainly works just fine.

Gripe I had was they were unable to transcode 4K down to 1080p because of the older Apple TV models making playback unusable.

Infuse connected to a simple SMB share is the best Apple TV interface. It’s the only TV app I pay for, but pretty cheap.

You have to organize and name files correctly and sometimes you have to switch subtitles but it is reliable and easy to use.
