The biggest thing that keeps me away from Plex alternatives is the simplicity ("it works everywhere on everything") and the experience ("it looks nice and feels polished"). There was a point where I could overlook some of these things but watching media is something that I want to feel slick and personal, and troubleshooting really kills that for me. Plex + AppleTV for me and my folks has been a rock solid setup for us. I really appreciate alternatives (especially OSS) like Jellyfin though and take a gander at them ~once a year.
