Plex Media Server for Android

Hi there,
Wondering why there is no Android (app) version of the Plex Media Server available to download…?
I know about the viewer client app and that I can share media through it, but it is not the same full-featured Plex Media Server which I could install on my Android box to stream my home video (hundreds of GB worth) off of and also share it with family throughout the globe.

Android is largely a mobile / player (TV), not server, platform.

It is still more server (as in, it is Linux) than some of the platforms you currently support for PMS :wink:

Any chances for an Android PMS soon? I would join any such effort as alpha- or beta tester.nn

a) that’s your opinion. The mainstream distros are either Redhat or Debian based and not Google.
b) unlikely to be an Android PMS except where a vendor, like nVidia, has combined the player and server into their device.

It’s a shame, really.
Fingers crossed for that standpoint to change soon, mate…

Also, I will try installing a Debian virtual environment app and then a Debian PMS. Pretty dirty hack, but should work.
