it's so incredibly impressive and sad how few tvs and tv connected 'boxes'/'sticks' support reading from a USB Flash drive. Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV. Anything that's not a full fledged PC seems like it only acknowledges content from online sources, even if they have a USB slot.
Does anyone have any tips for a cheap (<$100 USD) portable and fully offline (or at least core offline) devices that can connect to an hdmi port and either has >128gb onboard storage or can read from a USB drive?
