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?

Roku is fine I guess. You can install jellyfin, moonlight, playlet and web video caster. Music I'll just stream songs from playlet, but I assume you can use jellyfin and WVC for local phone stuff
