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?

All true. But a few years ago Fire TV had a big update that put full screen video ads that you must navigate off of every time you wake up the fire stick. It's so bad we stopped using it.
