This is what I'm doing, but we also have to admit that kodi kinda sucks.
It's really unstable, I can't find a browser, can be janky, unstable and don't forget unstable.
I can't even identify if it is some plugin that is causing the instability or not. Which should not be an excuse, because poor architecture is still the project's problem.
Is anyone working on alternatives? I would accept vibecoded stuff at this point.

You might as well start you own project. Buy a $200 subscription from one of the major AI providers. And guide it towards your goal.
It is likely that within a week you will have something that suits your needs, is fast and reliable.
An example of a prompt that you might use to start:
> Please build a home TV frontend similar to Kodi or Apple TV. But nicer, faster, more modern and with cooler features. Use modern software engineering practices. Keep the code well-organized, performant and readable.
