## What it is
Vega is an open-source Android media streaming app built with React Native and TypeScript that lets users stream and download video content ad-free using community-provided sources. It supports multi-audio tracks, external subtitles, external players, watchlists, offline downloads, and custom provider plugins.

## Use cases
- stream movies and shows on android without ads
- download videos for offline playback
- add custom streaming provider sources
- watch with external subtitles and multiple audio tracks
- use an external video player like vlc or mpv
- sync my watchlist with the desktop app

## When to choose
- you want a free, privacy-focused, ad-free streaming app on android
- you want to bring your own provider sources and customize catalogs
- you need offline downloads and external player support

## When to avoid
- you need iOS or dedicated TV support
- you expect built-in licensed content without configuring providers
- you need guaranteed working sources, since scrapers break when sites change

- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: video-processing, web-scraping, parser, plugin-system
- domain: media, android-tools, entertainment, privacy
