Old Sony Bravia + My Cloud + Private Streaming? (lemmy.ca)

I am so close to completely being degoogled, the last nail in the coffin is my tv.

I have a very old Sony Bravia (over 20 years old), it has a Firestick to get access to Plex and Smarttube, these are the only apps I use. I also have a Mycloud server for Plex.

I have heard you can stream through Raspberry Pi, but am an absolute beginner in this area and don't even know where to start.

  • Which Pi do I get?
  • Can I get Plex and SmartTubeNext on it?
  • How do I set it up?

I just need a start point, guide, tutorial, anything to get this last little bit of privacy interfering tech out of my life.

Thanks!

Here is a guide: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi4/LineageOS22-ATV/

Yes you can get Plex. Not sure about SmartTube, but probably.

It works reasonably well. I bought just the remote from the Google streamer and was able to connect it. You'll need a keyboard and mouse to do the initial setup from what I remember.

Oooh! Thankyou! It's android so theoretically it should be able to get Smart tube. This is an advanced user guide but it certainly will help when I get to this point.

I'm still at the "So, Pi is a green circuit board?" part of my learning.
