I mean if you want open source and all-around solution, your options are limited. The two clients are Android and the Kodi plugins. Kodi is a different deal that I've tried many times over the years but haven't dealt with in depth since it transitioned from XBMC. I just don't see the draw.
The only other option I see, which is huge but probably not all that feasible, is to run a full-fledged PC and a browser in kiosk mode with a skin over Jellyfin, maybe even Vue if you can get that working. Nav might be a bit more complex than something meant for a TV, but webOS essentially runs this way and it's not bad at all. The only problem I see here is I've never found a browser on Linux that will run my video without tearing, ghosting, or other artifacts. If you're running high-quality video, browser-based might not be the best route. If you were open to Windows, JMP would be a great option.
