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

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. 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 :)

Google made it mandatory for any box past 2022 to be able to play av1. There are a lot of boxes that can play x265. There are boxes from chinese sellers for 15 bucks that can play 265
I wouldn’t recommend most of the cheap Android boxes. Most of the are full of malware. LTT did a video comparing most major Android boxes: youtu.be/sdLnieL90d0?si=6nAX8E0d9c4OZXqM
