I've used a WDTV for many years. They're great. Plug in a USB or hard drive, plug into TV. plays almost all formats. Relatively cheap. Simple.

They look great, but on Amazon it looks like there $150+? I know that's not expensive, but I was hoping for sub-$100. But I've heard that's a great one, so maybe it's worth it...
Actually, this one is $60.
What you need is a set top box media player.
I own the older version of one of these and it plays practically any type of video file except the new 4k stuff:

Western Digital doesn't make these anymore so you're going to have to look around a little if you want a new one.
You could also try a different media player but I can't vouch for anything other than the WD TV Live. What I suggest is to read the reviews on the other media players that Amazon carries and buy the one where the least amount of people complain about.
I'd recommend a WDTV from Western Digital. I used this for years and there was nothing I found that it wouldn't play (apart from .rmv files.. but no one really uses those anymore). I haven't used it recently since I got a Alienware Alpha which became an all in one solution (KODI and game rig) so I don't know if it can handle x265/HEVC codecs. But I know it plays everything else.. x264, divx, xvid etc. even 3D 1080p mkv files. You can manually scrap meta data for your files as well. The interface is a little chunky (compared to Kodi) but it gets the job done.
