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 :)

i'm still running a hardware steam link for our in home streaming (and have another one as backup should it die). the shield and the SL were the best options back then, and everything afterwards kinda sucked

Wait, hardware steam link? Please tell me more. Mine is collecting dust. Can I throw Kodi on it?

I just looked it up and yes, you can install kodi on it: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/steam-link-install-kodi/

the latest kodi release for steam link is pretty old tho, dating from 2019. https://github.com/garbear/kodi-steamlink/releases

i personally just stream my desktop and then use jellyfin/plex or my browser for whatever media i need.

I'll have to check it out. I would love to replace my fire stick. I am trying to get jellyfin setup.
