Everyone keeps saying it’s the best media player, so I’m interested in getting one, but I haven’t had a google account for many years now and don’t want to create a new one just for this.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to run one without a google account?
Edit: I would only want to use it for Plex and maybe youtube
Run it? Absolutely. Set it up? Unlikely, unless you go the LineageOS route.
I bought a shield pro last year and never once logged in to google during setup or any time after.
See? Unlikely, not impossible. I’ve never tried. I just chose to remove Google from my life, that thing used Google accounts, gone!
I’ve never used a google account on it. That’s the point.
It is not necessary to be in the google ecosystem to use the shield (pro) to its full capabilities.
I’ll dust off mine this weekend. That’s great to know.
