I really love this project, unfortunately I have a Xios. Would it be possible to run Rasplex, would it be as simple as just compiling a new kernel with the correct drivers in them ? I found the Kernel source drivers for the AMLogic chipset and the Mali 400 drivers over here [https://github.com/fards/AMlogic\_Meson6\_030812release](https://github.com/fards/AMlogic_Meson6_030812release) It would be awesome if it would be as simple as just compiling a new kernel. Can anyone explain what would be needed to make this run on the Xios ? Looking forward to the replies! ---

Might be possible to port, but it would be a huge amount of work, as you wouldn't have the community the RPi has, and you'll run into lots of problems getting the OpenGL stuff linked... Just buy a raspberry pi? 35 dollars won't bankrupt you... ---

> isn't the xios android based? just download the plex android app? Well although Plex Android is a very nice app for your tablet or phone. It doesn't come close to the real plex client. So I very much prefer to run the real thing. > Might be possible to port, but it would be a huge amount of work, as you wouldn't have the community the RPi has, and you'll run into lots of problems getting the OpenGL stuff linked... > > Just buy a raspberry pi? 35 dollars won't bankrupt you... its 51 EUR with a case (incl. VAT), without power supply, remote and or hdmi cable. Anyways I already have a xios which also has a faster processor. Why not make the project support more ARM devices if we can ? ---

Try to port OpenELEC and RasPlex wil be able to run too… (Just create a GitHub issue - maybe they will work on it…) ---

> isn't the xios android based? just download the plex android app? Ok so I thought why not try the client .... So I reinstalled Android and got the Plex client on there. Its great for a phone and tablet, but it sucks for a media centre. First it does not support Passthrough audio, so no surround sound. And it does not support seeking with the remote. Furthermore the menu's look like crap on a television. So great for tablet, but no go for a mediacentre device. I hope Plex comes for linux any time soon, so maybe we can install it on the Openlinux distro which is there for Xios DS ---
