Sure, I'd just use a $99 Apple TV for that whenever needed.
edit: I am getting old. AppleTV used to be $99 and it seems prices have gone up a little since. Either way, AppleTV would be my goto method whenever AirPlay is required.
- sneak 5y agoYou can't set up an Apple TV without providing a phone number to Apple (because it requires an Apple ID, and Apple IDs require a phone number during setup).
- pupdogg 5y agoI think OP was concerned about AirPlay which would assume he already has an AppleID. You could setup a Raspberry PI with AirPlay capabilities as well...or, use one of the many SMS receiving sites online to setup a new/private AppleID ;)
- sneak 5y agoThis subthread is about avoiding the privacy issues of smart TVs. They're worse with an Apple TV and Apple ID. Is there a good Raspberry Pi SD image for the Pi 4 that can be used to receive 4k airplay streams and output to HDMI? I ask because I don't think that is a viable solution compared to the ATV4k.
