How it works

  • The Bobine APK (Android 14 to 16, ARM64) embeds the server and the interface: no cloud required.
  • Independent dual display: the laptop screen to drive the session (/grid), the HDMI output to play the class (/cinema).
  • Hardware decoding through MediaCodec and a persistent foreground service.
  • Google Play Store availability is announced as upcoming; meanwhile the APK can be downloaded from this page.

Installing

Download Bobine-<version>.apk from the table below and open it from the file manager. On Google Book, the .deb package of the Linux subsystem remains an alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bobine work on a Google Book?

Yes, through the native Android app (APK) in ARM64, with MediaCodec hardware acceleration.
