Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.

Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
The ads will be interactive and 'shoppable' and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

The Roku app has had a major update recently. Might be worth checking again.

Why would you run Roku on Jellyfin? Wouldn't that open you to the ads you are trying to avoid?

I'm guessing it's the opposite way around, they use the jellyfin app on their Roku to steam from their jellyfin server
