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 :)

    Go Av1, much better support: all recent amazon fire sticks support it, I am am using one and loving it.

    Jellyfin ofc

    H264 is great, but h265 is basically feels like a dead end. Av1 instead is picking up lots of steam. I am betting on it instead of h265.

      Thank you for your comment. This made me reconsider. I already bit on ebay for an nokia stream box 8010. If I loose I might then go with the orbsmart s 87 plus since it has av1 :) Edit:

      Nvm 8010 has av1 too. I previously bit on the 8000 which doesn’t but I thankfully lost.
