It might be the unpopular option but I love my AppleTV. I used several sticks, a FireTV and a raspi before.
On the AppleTV with Swiftfin for jellyfin and VLC as a fall back all my local streaming needs are met. The hardware is great and the price is - well, let’s say it’s okay (but quite far above you limit I think). And most of all: it blew all of the other option out of the water in terms of convenience and user experience.
So if you have the money I recommend giving it a try.
