Yeah, I assumed NLite was new and improved. It works a lot better with my remote, but is unusable for me currently.
I was trying to avoid Kodi because it's not client/server and isn't supported on the Roku. I looked into it probably a year ago. As I recall, I would need to setup a shared database to use it on my windows clients.
I do have a couple Fire TV devices, so I'll give them a try using the Android client. I still haven't ruled out an Android TV device, but don't have one at the moment.
Most of my Roku's are older, I only have one that appears to work with the NextPVR app from the quick testing I did. I was going to test it more later. Emby on the Roku won't play anything, just hangs and is too much work to troubleshoot.
Ultimately, I was planning to use Jellyfin alongside NPVR, then I can watch external recordings and use many devices. I tested it out a while back and didn't see any issues with playback. I also like the fact it's open source and has a plugin for NextPVR. I don't like the UI much, but hopefully that can be customized easily... If I can find something that will work well on my devices, then I'll look at abandoning the windows clients.
Is Kodi your preferred client? What would you choose first other than Kodi?
