Xbox/ps5 + Plex. Turn it on, get loud beep, turns on TV for you, goes to input, designed for ease of use even for kids.
I’m sorry the jellyfin mouse only UI is far harder to use than a remote or controller.

Android TV is garbage as a device though. Xbox is far more usable. Jellyfin being garbage on Xbox is the easiest thing to fix in the chain.

Jellyfin works without any issues with Android TV. I have an nVidia Shield and the simple remote does everything I need.

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex
