Thank you a lot wrxtasy you point me to right direction with that Chromebox. On amazon is M004U (2GB RAM) for 108€ and it is in my price range Will it run all i want smooth with 2GB RAM? do i need H265/HEVC in your opinion?
thanks again you really helped me!

No Probs. They are extremely popular for a reason !!!

Yes thats the model you want with the 2955U Processor that has Intel Haswell microarchitecture.
It a smooth speed demon.
You can run Openelec on a dual booting 2GB Chromebox easily. Its does not require a lot of resources at all. As an example Openelec runs well on my 512k Raspberry Pi with 256k reported free.

Also get a Flirc IR USB dongle and a cheap Xbox360 media remote to control it and your set.
You may also need a cheap keyboard, this link has some good info:

H265 may become important in media box circles once the 'Scene" groups start releasing stuff. Likely re-encoding current content into smaller files first, and for that we need cheap Hardware that can encode H265 quickly. That does not seem to be happening at the moment.
