+1 Letā€™s get Plex on Switch! Offline sync needed for airplane gaming and Plex watching! Picture-in-picture Plex videos over the Switch games would be amazing.

The ability to dock and use TV mode, then switch and walk around in tablet mode would be awesome. With the ability to sync to the SD cards, this would make a perfect portable media client. Imagine taking this on vacation with you.

Isnā€™t the switch limited to 720p resolution? Gonna be a lot more transcoding going on at the server if so.

@cayars scales up when docked.

Display: (Undocked) 6.2-inch, 720p (1280 x 720), multitouch display | (Docked) 1080p

For one, I would love a native plex app for the switch.

@sky2xno get anywhere on the nintendo switch browser? How did you even get to the browser in the first place? Heh? I know its based on safari webkit.

Not everyone treats transcoding as a toxic abomination to be exercised from oneā€™s world. :wink:

My Switch arrives today, so Iā€™m all the more interested now.

Transcoding is part of it. But Iā€™d have to figure most people who would purchase such a device probably already have a decent to high quality mobile phone that can already use Plex with much higher resolutions and functionality already.

So I was just wondering what the big deal is for those that want it? I do get the fact you want Plex on everything but on a 720p screen?

I would like to see the Nintendo Switch have plex.

Lifetime supporter. Plex is a household word that means entertainment. God I hope this happens

Plex and YouTube are the only things I miss on Nintendo Switch, and why Iā€™m still stuck with the X360 :frowning:
