I have Apple TV for the year because I got a new iPad and I still "pirated" Foundation because the Apple TV app for Roku isn't very good. I hate the interface, the playback skips (very infrequently), and the subtitle support is pretty bad.

There's no way Plex and Emby should be better than Apple's equivalent, but they are IMO.

Yeah. The video player straight up sucks. We had better software than this decades ago. There's just no way these things will ever be able to compete with something like mpv but we're forced to use them because it's the only legal way to watch something.

Also Jellyfin, the FLOSS Emby fork that has taken on its own life and has recently gotten a lot more stable

On the other hand, I was actually impressed, that Apple TV appeared on Android TV in the first place and that it is actually decent (at least on Nvidia Shield).

My only nitpick is, that for some reason the default subtitles are "language + SDH" and not just "language".
