The easiest way would be to connect a laptop to the TV, and then play the file through VLC. But that's not strictly playing it on your TV, that's playing it on a PC displayed on your TV.

I was hoping there was some simple hardware that could do this?

Thank you

There are lots of simple hardware solutions - but would need to check the specific formats of the files you want to play.

MediaInfo (available for Mac and Windows) will tell you more than enough about the files - if you post those details here we can be more specific in our recommendations. (It will tell us audio and video codecs etc.)
