My jellyfin collection has finally become large enough that I have been able to cancel all my streaming services. My issue now is that I want to get rid of my Roku’s that are hooked up to each TV.

Is there a good alternative? It MUST be family approved, meaning:

1. It is not visible (no desktop/laptop hooked up)
2. It is low power
3. It has a simple remote control
4. It supports Jellyfin
5. It is relatively cheap (< $150)

I am sure I could build something out of a raspberry pi, but:

1. I don’t need another project I have to fiddle with
2. It MUST support new codecs (h.265/AC1/aac/…) as I want direct play from my server
3. If it stutters/buffers once, it goes into the trash!

I’ve generally been mostly happy with my Roku, and my pi.hole blocks most of their analytics, but last week, I pressed the home button on my Roku and it started play a video add with audio. Completely unacceptable (That has happened twice in the last week). And in general, the more of this crap I can get out of my life the better!
