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

    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.
