Hello
Does anyone know if it is possible in some way to run the plex media server (not client) on an android device (more specific Nexus 5).
Could be by android or some other Linux distro running the server.
It just has to be able to see hdds connected by USB OTG cable.
If someone know that this has been done could you please post the link?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'd love to be able to access the USB drive I have plugged in to my Android device (Minix X5) via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol). I can't find any server, just Samba servers. Any ideas?
Thank you
Hello everyone.
I have a little problem that I hope someone here knows the answer to it.
The setup is as follows:
- an android tablet
- a printer that is connected to the tablet via wifi and is using the tablet as a hotspot
- a Windows machine that the tablet connects to via remote
I connect with the tablet to Windows via remote and I am able to run and work with Windows apps.
I want to print to the printer that is connected to the tablet, from the remote session.
Do I have to browse the tablet and share the printer. If yes, how so?
Can I do this with Google Cloud Print, and if yes, how?
Any help is appreciated and thank you guys in advance
I simply want to control my T-800 tablet from my 6P phone. Mostly I just want to control songs and volume. I can’t find anything that works.
There is a TeamViewer Host that runs on the Tablet but none of their own TeamViewer clients can not connect and I have not been able to get them to help me.
There also seems to be a VNC Host for Android but it needs a rooted device just to try it out.
Such a simple thing on the desktop, is there nothing that just works for Android devices?
Bump.
Hello.
I want to run an chromecast vm or chromecast viewer on cloud to i can broadcast from my phone that only detects chromecast devices to my tv using some kind of vnc or browser running vm.
I am trying do this on apkonline.net emulator and on onworks, but i woul like to get any sugestions. I havent for now a computer.
Im trying do this using OpenVPN cloud but i dont know how can i do this connection to work fine.
Who can give me a tip?
I just purchased the above device planning to use it to replace my Raspberry Pi Zero W in my media system. I have been controlling the pi via SSH from my laptop and have an sftp share to it for file transfers from my laptop. I mostly made use of vlc on the pi this way, which worked quite well.
Obviously I will usually be using the remote with the device when I want to select and view video content. But when I am working with music and internet radio it is more convenient to do so from my laptop where I have an actual keyboard.
Obviously the TVision environment differs from the Raspbian running on the pi, so I doubt that I can take the same approach with it. I am working now to take advantage of the fact that it is a Chromecast device, which allows me to manage internet radio from my laptop via stream2chromecast. What I still need is a way to load media onto the device from my laptop, preferably via a share of some sort, and to be able to initiate or change playback there from the laptop.
I have installed vlc on the device, but from what I can tell there is no support in this version for using one of its remote control interfaces included. Of course this is the android version of vlc, so even if I can install and use an SSH connection to the device I don't know how to interact with it from the terminal window.
Has anyone worked with this device and found a way to do what I want to with it? Has anyone taken a similar approach with another Google TV device that should work here?
