My linux box is far more powerful than my windows box. I used to run an airvideo server on the linux box, as transcoding is far faster.

Would it be possible at some stage to download a linux version of the airvideo HD server? Fedora in particular

[Edit: I see this has been requested in another forum, sorry. I'll keep this here just as a reminder ]

Thanks!

It is planned but it's not insignificant amount of work.

I have been using linux server version since I have the app on my phone.  Hope to see the HD version soon.

+1 Watching for updates on this, the old AirVideo server is an important part of my setup.

I'll add myself as another interested in this - I'm going to be retiring the last Windows machine on my network in the near future so I'd really appreciate being able to continue to use AirVideo Server under linux, and migrate from the old version to the new AirVideo HD. 

 

Admin, you mention that it's planned - could you perhaps give us even a rough estimate of when you might expect to have something available for linux?

+1 for AirVideo HD on Linux

[Goliath2000]

Yes please, Linux support is verrry verrry important feature.

+1 to this. The current version of airvideo works fine for me under Linux, but would happily pay for airvideo HD if I can still use Linux.

[bradlay]

Me too, I've very pleased with the Air Video version 1 with the linux server, and after just buying Air Video HD and using it on my Mac laptop, I'm very impressed.

Hope the Linux version isn't far away.

Rough guess as to when this would possibly be released?

+1 for this request.

would love to see linux so it can be run on unraid

[Logicwax]

yeah they need to get on the Linux airvideo server HD ASAP!

 

all my media is on my Linux box, and I use rar2fs to get rar support too (sudo rar2fs -o allow_other --seek-length=1 --seek-depth=0 /path/to/rars /unrared_VFS)

 

 

c'mon you guys gotta get on this!   lots of people keep their media on Linux!

I have been using Air Video on a Windows 2012 running on a ESXi server, along with 4 other VM's. I have now upgraded to Air Video HD and I have been absolutely happy with the performance so far, I would definitely love to see a Linux port or even better a NAS plugin (I have a Synology :-).

[Cyberbird]

I also second this. I exclusively use airvideo-server on linux, so it makes it impossible for me, to buy the new version, even though there are some promising features, i'd like to use.

 

So please let there be a generic linux port like there was one for the "old" version.

 

Thanks!

Any update, admin? Would you consider releasing the server source so someone else can build for Linux?

[hamstercat]

+1, I already bought the Air Video HD app but am using the old one until a linux version exists, I just don't have a windows machine open 24/7. When a linux server exists I'll be able to switch over, can't wait for that!

If I could connect to a raspberry pi with the iOS or android app and just stream whatever I already had converted would be sweet.

[demishade]

+1 for this as well. I'll by the HD version the day this is supported - even if the support is initially just the generic .jar where we'll need to add our own ffmpeg. I did that back in the day before the packaged version was available and am willing to do so again

 

Would even be interested in a version that does no transcoding, as mostly I'm just using it to pass the stream to apple tv anyway.
