Self-hosting adjacent, but you have to watch your jellyfin content somewhere, or connect to your audiobook store... Or even music.. what do you guys use for music?

Anyway, Amazon's firetv stick had a great remote. But sideloading on it comes to an end and it needs replacing. What do you guys have? Anything with a good remote and UI?

Avoid Roku devices. Roku had an OK remote and decent UI, but the company has thoroughly enshittified it and turned it into an "advertising everywhere all the time" platform. There is a Jellyfin app that works well though.

Was eyeing one of those. Thanks for the warning.

Roku has WAY LESS ads than Fire TV. Yes I get one on the home screen, off to the side, easily ignored.

It's true they might add more later. It is pretty much the only corporate strategy these days.

Idk if Apple TV is still no ads. It is usually suggested as the best home streamer.

Roku tries to monitor HDMI activity on Roku TVs so they know exactly what's being watched at all times. They also insert ads into the menu on a regular basis and sometimes force install apps. Adguard Home has blocked the vast majority of the ads on screen, but from what I've found the menu ads can't be blocked.

If I had Fire TV and it's as bad as you say it would have been binned long ago.
