Please recommend me some android tv boxes that can play local .mkv h.265 video files :) - eviltoast

My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn’t supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€

Alternatively if someone knows about a blu ray player under 100€ which can do all of the above plus play blu ray dvds please recommend me one :)

    Old hardware is cheaper, and these devices don’t need to be expensive.

    Even when newly manufactured they’ll still use ancient CPUs because nobody wants to spend $500 on an android TV stick.

    Even the latest shield pro uses a CPU from 2015 and it’s $200 brand new.
