Help Picking Hardware

I have been reading these forums for about a week and I am still having problems deciding what hardware to buy. I have read all the stickys but I am still lost and confused.

Requirements:

  • Stream content form my NAS (720p or 1080p with AC3 or AAC audio).
  • Optical out so that I can send audio to my old tuner.
  • Don't care about online streaming(Old Roku I bought on clearance takes care of that)
  • No need for 4k
  • HEVC would be nice but I am totally ok with giving it up until I get a 4k tv in a year or 2
  • Ethernet is preferred because the device will be two feet away from my router.
  • My main goal is that it can play whatever I trow at it.
  • I am totally ok with a DIY solution.


Price:
Under $50 would be amazing be i understand I am probably going to need to spend around $100 and am prepared to do so.

Automatic episode .nfo

I'm using a scraper that adds content by the folder name. Does nothing else (fetches no art nor info). Works fine, but for series it only adds the shows as a whole, and not any of the episodes nor seasons inside them, so if I want to actually watch the show, I have manually make an .nfo file for the show (specifying number of seasons), and one for every single episode. The former I can do, but the latter is way too much trouble to go through for all the shows that I have (and the ones that I'm gonna get in the future).

So how could I fix this without changing to an online scrapper? Is there any way to automatically make .nfo file for each episode? Or, is there any way to make one .nfo for all episodes? I don't care about grabbing fanart, plot, or anything like that, even the title can just be the filename title.

This is the scrapper that I'm using, by the way:

Code:
<CreateSearchUrl dest="3" clearbuffers="no">
        <RegExp dest="3" output="&lt;url&gt;http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=$$7&lt;/url&gt;" input="$$7">
            <RegExp dest="7" output="\1" input="$$1">
                <expression noclean="1" trim="1">(.+)</expression>
            </RegExp>
            <expression noclean="1"></expression>
        </RegExp>
    </CreateSearchUrl>
    
    <GetSearchResults dest="8" clearbuffers="no">
        <RegExp dest="8" output="&lt;results sorted=&quot;yes&quot;&gt;\1&lt;/results&gt;" input="$$5">
            <RegExp dest="5" output="&lt;entity&gt;&lt;title&gt;\1&lt;/title&gt;&lt;url&gt;http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=$$7&lt;/url&gt;&lt;/entity&gt;" input="$$1">
                <expression noclean="1" trim="1">&lt;title&gt;([^"]*)\-\sYahoo Search</expression>
            </RegExp>
            <expression noclean="1"></expression>
        </RegExp>
    </GetSearchResults>
    <GetDetails dest="3" clearbuffers="no">
        <RegExp dest="3" output="&lt;details&gt;\1&lt;/details&gt;" input="$$5">
            <RegExp dest="5+" output="&lt;title&gt;\1&lt;/title&gt;" input="$$1">
                <expression noclean="1" trim="1">&lt;title&gt;(.+)\s\-\sYahoo Search Results&lt;/title&gt;</expression>
            </RegExp>
            <expression noclean="1" trim="1"></expression>
        </RegExp>
    </GetDetails>

Put that at the top of tvdb.xml if you wanna try it out.

Possible to show pvr artwork at folder/group level?

I've been trying to get posters to display in pvr recordings at the parent folder/ group level. Is this possible without skin helper? I've tried skin helper, but it doesn't use the actual images from the pvr. Hopefully there is a workaround? Thanks.
