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!

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.
