External MediaBrowser "Stick" for Parents (ideally hardcoded)

[AgileHumor 123]

Hi Folks, 

 

I wanted to share my library with my non-technical parents.  I was hoping to preconfigure a device and send it to them.

 

First,  what is the best HDMI device (ideally USB powered) that will play Media Browser.  I with thinking the Roku 3500R streaming stick:

Second, what is the best HDMI device to set MediaBrowser as the default start up app?   I'm assuming that would be more of a android tablet vs Roku.

 

Thanks all!  

 

PS - I've never used Roku yet. Only DLNA TVs, MBC, Windows App, Windows Phone App, Android App

Another option may be Kodi with our plug-in.

Yea I agree, a roku stick or android stick configured with kodi/xbmc set as the launcher and xbmb3c + skin

Thanks folks!  I think I may go with an android stick if I think the internet setup is easy enough.

The Roku is pretty easy to use, but keep in mind that there's no way to auto-boot into an app or anything.
