As the title says. Once android is more functional, can you implement a way to make it act as a server?
@sparky8251 commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
Well, Android right now is a client. Very distinct code base.
The server code we have isn't meant for running on Android either. If we wanted a server running on Android, it'd be a brand new project written from the ground up.
Plus... almost nothing Android is capable of being a proper server (transcoding is expensive and it needs a static address), it's unlikely someone will step up to write it.
For what reason specifically do you want a server on android? There might be a less arduous way to address your needs.

Oh. I only asked cause emby had one and Plex has the option as well.

Yeah, Emby has one and its meant mostly for Shield devices. Pretty much the only Android devices a server makes sense with (has tthe ranscode power).
It was also never open source so we have to start from the ground up. Maybe it'll happen, we certainly won't tell someone "no" but it's not an easy task. Can't just reuse the code we already have.

Ok. Well it's not really a necessary. Was just curious if you could
implement it cause I saw the others did.

I think the most that is probably likely is to have offline caching.
But if you are thinking about having the full serverside with all of its functionalities jammed inside of android I'd say that will never happen. I don't think shipping c# / dotnet to android is even possible
edit: I don't know about the shield, but we are talking about a new server from scratch here right? If someone has the time, ...
