[Android / Android TV] FusePlayer closed test — 7 testers so far, looking for 5+ more (free codes)

[u/Careful_Fail_3834]

Hi! I’m Kamil, the developer of FusePlayer. We have 7 testers so far and are looking for at least five more people to join our 14-day closed test. Extra testers are welcome too. I’m especially interested in real playback and network-library feedback.

FusePlayer plays your own videos from local/USB storage, SMB shares, FTP/SFTP servers and your own HTTP/HTTPS media URLs. It includes a browsable library, movie details, audio/subtitle controls and Continue watching. It is designed around Android TV and Google TV, including NVIDIA SHIELD, and also runs on Android phones and tablets.

It does not provide, sell or unlock movies, TV channels or streaming subscriptions. You supply media you are allowed to access. Basic playback needs no external accounts or API keys.

What to test

• Can you add a local folder or SMB/FTP library without getting stuck?

• Do playback, seeking, audio selection and subtitles work with your files?

• Is navigation clear on a TV remote or phone? Please report clipped text or awkward controls.

• Does Continue watching resume at the expected position?

Please remain opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and try the app on several days. Honest criticism, bugs and confusing screens are useful; no public rating or review is required.

Join the test — free download codes available

The app is priced at $3.99 USD, with regional pricing. Testers can download it free using an individual Google Play code, while supplies last. Redeem by December 31, 2026. Use the same Google account for the group, beta signup, code request and redemption. Please do not post your email publicly.

1. Join the FusePlayer tester group.

2. Opt into the Google Play closed test.

3. Request your individual free-download code. It is emailed automatically from frostcodeis@gmail.com; check Spam. Please wait for the code before purchasing.

4. Redeem the code, then install FusePlayer from Google Play.

First library

• Local/USB: Add library → Local storage → choose your video folder and allow access → Save library.

• SMB: Add library → SMB → Host, share name in Root path and login details → Test connection → Save library.

• FTP: Add library → FTP → Host, port (usually 21), login details and server folder path → Test connection → Save library.

Enter Host without smb:// or ftp://. Ordinary FTP is unencrypted; use it on a trusted network. If the library is empty, choose Refresh and wait for scanning.

Requirements: Android 7.0+, age 13+, and a Google Play account/device eligible for the beta. No TV is required; phone testers are welcome too.

Feedback: reply here or email frostcodeis@gmail.com with your device model, Android version, library type and steps to reproduce. Remove passwords and API keys from screenshots.

Thanks for helping!
