I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so that we could potentially share media. People here seem partial to Jellyfin but the internet seems to feel it doesn’t work smoothly with xbox (buggy app/integration). Any suggestions for the most elegant setup possible for hosting a home server for streaming TV shows and movies from xbox?

I haven’t spent much time tinkering with it but the plug-n-play xbox experience uses the joystick like a mouse cursor, not like the android-tv’s joystick to select menus - which is obviously sub par
