Simple question, but what is the cheapest, easiest way to watch

Any Android TV box

for $30
old pc from ebay like a seneca thin client $10
cheap ssd $15
wireless keyboard$5

I'm wondering this as well since a tonne of stuff won't play natively on the PS4 without reencoding or whatever

get a wifi-enabled bluray player that has "smart" apps, so that you can use netflix too. they have a USB port that can read video files of any kind, even mkv. Not able to read subtitle files though.

PS, I feel that phillips makes the best one. The sony bluray players are too "smart". they have so many apps built-in that it slows the speed of the device.

here is an example of a good one. simple and does the job.

WD TV Live or similar for 50$

If it has a USB port just jam a flash drive with the movie in there, most TVs can decode x264 just fine

Pick up an android TV box from Aliexpress, ask /csg/ for specific models if you want

What tv do you have? If it was made in the last 3 years, it can probabyl play from USB.
