No love for Android at Plex HQ isn’t really anything new, right? I came to check if there’s a ETA for this feature and was expecting the answer I found here… too bad.
But the worst thing sometimes is if things just get ignored. Or did I miss a comment somewhere, that’s a bit newer?
Actually, the android app has had a lot more support than the iOS one… which was basically forgotten for a year while they re-wrote it in secret.> @blissfool said:
It’s an old issue. They got this working on iOS after a while. Now we’re hoping for something similar to happen in android.
Not sure if they need to rewrite android app like they did with iOS app. If they did, then I wouldn’t mind waiting a bit (but not too long!) for a fairly stable app than a half baked app. But yeah… totally frustrating.
I doubt they’ll rewrite it, it has been kept up to date and updated to Material Design already. It’s also pretty feature full… It’s just really full of bugs, especially the sync part which gives me constant notifications but doesn’t sync, and the chromecast part which sometimes gives me 2-3 notifications if I watch/listen to a few different files in a row.

It appears that this has been added to iPhone? No Android love?
Different teams, different schedules. Or, same team, but you can’t do two major projects at once.
Plex has often stated that feature parity among the apps is the goal. If a feature appears in one, you can generally expect it in the others. But timelines are not discussed externally, so it’ll get there when it gets there.

This is a desperately needed feature that I have been waiting for for years. I haven’t been able to use Plex as my primary music app because of this and I personally have no use for playlists without the ability to sync them.
The upvote from me relates to sharing playlists (although syncing for offline music listening is a pretty big deal too).
I would use playlist sharing for creating movie playlists that my friends can enjoy for marathon viewing - eg. Star Wars in Machete Order, Marvel movies/TV shows in chronological order instead of release order.
