You can install a custom web UI.

I did this a while back, and while the alt I tested was great on mobile it didn't offer the functionally I like to use with the built in UI.

I wanted to split mobile/desktop traffic, which I imagine is relatively straightforward if you have a decent amount of web dev experience, but alas I do not.

This is the correct answer. Kodi+fen+RD is my choice but it requires a bit more maintenance.

Stremio is hard to beat for ease of use, but personally I prefer Kodi/Fen for

Kodi's ability to customize audio - ie turn up center channel so you can actually hear what actors are mumbling without needing to constantly adjust the volume
Fen's interface and ability for the user to discover new content

The downsides are Kodi's (relative) lack of stability compared to alternatives and the fact that you have to manage storage meticulously if you're using a smart device to run it. Kodi's thumbnail cache can get out of control rapidly.
