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!

Oh, oh, oh! This is kinda niche, but OpenPlotter (https://openmarine.net/openplotter) is a complete and modular marine instrumentation/automation package that is designed for the Pi4. This was my entry point into the Pi universe.

Then there's Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/), which provides network level ad-blocking.

Those are my main uses, but there are scores of others.
