As a long time Plex user, I truly wish they would stop messing around with the app. Over time it's become so bloated and full of 'their' junk. I don't want all the on demand stuff. I want it for my local content only.
If my TV had a native JellyFin client I'd jump immediately over to it.
Recommendation for owned collections: use the orange icon "Computers" app. No ads. No vod. Simple (Apple designed and works with Apple DRM'd content too) UI that harkens back to the original AppleTV UI created by the Lord Jobs...

Requires a Mac be up and running all the time, doesn't work outside the household, and only works on the Apple TV. The only Mac in my home is my MacBook, and it leaves with me.
Plex and my Synology is much easier. Plex is on every platform.
The bottom screenshot looks the most different - it has stuff across the top now rather than down the side.
Ahhhh yes, I see that now, thank you. They do tend to push their Plex stuff, but its easy enough to hide it all. I really don't blame them for trying to make a little $, for what a great product I personally think it is...I'm okay with it.
