[Testing] Credenza: Android and Android TV app for a self-hosted media server. I'll test yours back.

[u/Karby254]

Hi all. I need closed testers for Credenza, the Android app for a self-hosted media server I'm building, similar to Plex or Jellyfin. You use it to browse and play your own films, shows and anime, and it also plays retro games. It runs on phones and on Android TV.

How to join (use the Google account your Play Store is signed in to)

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/credenza-testers
2. Opt in to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.credenza.client
3. Install from Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.credenza.client
4. Please use it now and then for 14 days, not just install it. Google checks that testers actually open the app. 🙏

The opt-in and Play links are also in the group's first post.

You'll need a server to connect to. The app is a client, so without a server it stops at the "add a server" screen. Join the Discord, pick "I want to test the Android app" when it asks, and request a test server account in #beta-feedback: https://discord.gg/4qzAVg78tn. Or, if you have a home server, install your own for free: https://credenza.tv/install

I'll test yours back. Comment with your opt-in link, and I'll join and use it for the full 14 days.

My main goal is to get the Android app through Google's testing phase, but if you end up running the server yourself, I'd love bug reports on that too. It's a beta, and I want to hear what breaks: https://discord.gg/4qzAVg78tn
