Aah, the audio quality if fine for me, I don't have exceptionally bad audio quality.

Still pretty impressive ratio though

I'm not getting sync issues at all, the jellyfin client on appleTV simply doesn't select the audio track I select when I choose something different than default. It works perfectly fine on all other devices, just not appleTV. I only have stereo devices.

What did I write in my OP to suggest audio sync issues? You're not the first to think that's my issue, so I must have worded something poorly...

It has to be user friendly enough for a literal 5yo though

Then I wouldn't be able to filter the contents of the server based on age rating, and since it's serving content for both adults and kids I kind of want to be able to limit some content to certain users.

I'd rather avoid paid solutions, especially anything subscription based.

Doesn't need to be the remote, but it does need to work independently of other devices than what's connected to the TV. Having to cast from a device doesn't really work with how we use TV watching in our house, especially for the kids since they don't have their own phones or tablets to do it from.

I don't have audio sync issues at all. I have issues with appleTV using the wrong audio track when I select something different than the default. E.g. if I select Danish, it shows that it's using the Danish track but it's actually playing something else like Finnish or Swedish. This behaviour is only on the appleTV and no other devices.

All other devices stream (locally) just fine without stuttering, I don't have access to the server outside my home network (intentionally).

The appleTV streams just fine, I just can't change audio track on that, which mostly impact the kids because they still have limited English skills.

I'm not touching Plex ever, so I'll have to find another solution, or demote the appleTV to the bedroom because my wife and I watch most things in English anyway so we don't change the audio track like the kids do.

Aah, this is an issue consistently on both movies and shows, also when starting. If i select anything other than the default track, it doesn't actually select what I pick but something else (like it picks Finnish even though I select Danish, and it shows I select Danish). Again, this only happens on the AppleTV, all.other devices switch correctly.

Dual and 2.4 and 5ghz wifi, gigabit wired. I'm speed testing the googleTV to >500mbps, so wifi should be more than adequate.
