What you need is an Apple TV, Chromecast, O!Play, Minix, Xios, etc. or some other media computer/media box plugged into your TV via HDMI. You can then plug a hard drive into that or stream directly (the better solution since you don't need two copies of all your movie files).
You cannot do this from an external drive only. You cannot do this with your old router or old Blu Ray player. You cannot have another interface into your hard drive when it is already connected to the Blu Ray player by physical link. It has to be done on the application layer.
