Set Up COMA Android Media Server

Turn a compatible Android phone, tablet or Android TV device into a lightweight COMA Media Server for direct-play libraries and portable streaming.

Steps

  1. Install COMA Android Server on the Android device you want to use as a server.
  2. Sign in with your COMA cloud account, or open Account > Pair server in the cloud portal and scan the pairing QR code.
  3. Grant the requested media or storage permissions so COMA can read the folders you choose.
  4. Select one or more media folders and run the first library scan.
  5. Keep the Android device on stable Wi-Fi and power, then disable battery optimisation for the COMA Android Server app.
  6. Open your COMA account portal and confirm the Android server appears under your servers.
  7. Test playback on the local network first with a browser-supported direct-play file before relying on remote playback.

Before you continue

Confirm your licence is active, your server is claimed to the right COMA cloud account, and any reverse proxy or Cloudflare rule leaves /api/* uncached.
