Android server
This app is awesome! Thanks.
A suggestion that is probably out of scope: It would be great to be able to run a local Syncplay server from android.
Use case: On a plane with no internet access and no PC. It would be great to set up an ad hoc network and sync movie watching between 2 mobile devices.
Greetings @twtu,
I've been planning to build the server-side logic ever since finishing the client, as that was the original intention of the Syncplay developers—to offer both a client and server for a complete package. However, the existing servers are based in France if I remember correctly, so users in distant locations (like New Zealand) experience significant lag. It's definitely on the agenda
Yeah, that'd be interesting, I'm also considering on making a syncplay compatible server, but with a language with is more performant while being way easier to spin up than the current one. (Then it can just be an executable for OS)
I was going to write it using Bun for any PC, but mobile would need them to add native Android support which is on the roadmap, but very far away.
