COMA Android Client Makes Private Streaming Easy
The COMA Android Client gives Android phones, tablets, and TV-style devices an easier way to browse and play private COMA media libraries.
A Familiar Android App Experience
The COMA Android Client is designed to make private streaming easier by using a familiar app-based installation and sign-in flow. Users can install the app, sign in with their COMA account, and browse the libraries made available from their own COMA server setup.
Easy Integration With COMA Servers
The Android client fits into the wider COMA ecosystem. It can work with COMA servers running on Windows, Linux, Docker, Android Server, and other supported routes. Once a server is claimed and libraries are available, the client can focus on discovery, browsing, and playback rather than manual configuration.
Made For Everyday Devices
Android phones and tablets are often the devices people already carry around the house or take with them. A dedicated COMA Android Client helps make self-hosted media feel less technical, giving users a straightforward way to open their own movies, shows, music, and shared libraries.
Good For Shared Households
COMA is built around account access, profiles, and shared libraries. The Android client makes that easier for family members because they do not need to manage the server directly. They can sign in, use the account permissions available to them, and stream from the media libraries they are allowed to access.
Private Streaming, Not Supplied Content
The COMA Android Client is for accessing media from the user's own COMA server setup. COMA does not provide media content. Users are responsible for ensuring they own or have lawful permission to host, access, and stream any media used with COMA.
