My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn't supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€

Alternatively if someone knows about a blu ray player under 100€ which can do all of the above plus play blu ray dvds please recommend me one :)

Where do you currently store the video? You could get a cheap Chromecast with Google TV (the one with a remote) and use Jellyfin on your computer to make the video files available over the network.

I store them on my pc but I think my internet connection is too bad for that

It doesn't depend on your Internet, it all works through your local network.

The router is far away from both devices so I think connection might be bad. But I guess I can try with my phone on the spot where the TV is. Will do that tommorow. Thank you for the advice!

You don't need the one with the remote. Jellyfin will cast to google devices from the client.

I know but I prefer to get the one with the remote, since you can also cast to it, and having a remote for guests is nice.
