Request: for Windows x86 Desktop Version #2303
Description
Describe your suggested feature
Hello, and thank you for your continuous work on Cloudstream.
I would like to request a Windows-compatible version of Cloudstream.
Many users who frequently use Cloudstream on Android would also benefit from a desktop version for Windows, especially for environments where using an Android emulator is inefficient or undesirable.
This would significantly improve usability for users who consume content on desktop systems.
If this is technically feasible or already under consideration, I would appreciate any information or roadmap insights.
Thank you for your time and for maintaining this project.

@CranberrySoup has reportedly made a proof of concept PC port. However it is a massive undertaking, and may not get released.
At the moment most of the developer time on android is spent on the UI part, and developing android specific stuff. It would take several years to get a feature parity to the android app, and that is not taking into consideration many PC specific problems. Several extensions should already be cross-platform for a theoretical port, but right now it is hard to beat a browser with ublock origin installed.

I am currently working on porting all UI to compose, making it cross platform. Please also read this: https://github.com/recloudstream/cloudstream/tree/master/shared#ai-usage
