Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I'm trying to find a very simple media player I can load up with movies on a USB drive or SD card, that my elderly mother can use to watch movies.
1. I do NOT want to stream online content (Netflix, Youtube, etc.), just the videos I put on the memory card. She already has a Roku.
2. I don't want any "apps" like all of the Android TV boxes I've seen. It should boot up directly to the list of movies if possible.
3. Ideally it should support movie thumbnails, but a text list would be OK to.
4. It should be priced less than $60.
5. I only need it to support standard h.264 MP4 videos. It does not need to support a lot of file formats.
6. It must be simple to use for a non-techy person.
7. Compatibility with Logitech Harmony remotes would be nice, but not a requirement.
The closest I have found so far is this Micca Mplay HD player:

I have an older Micca Speck that works well, so I'm somewhat familiar with it, but they are text menus only. It would be nice to find something that supports thumbnails.
Any recommendations?
