Join alpha testing to allow publishing Android IRL live streaming apps to Google Play store

Join alpha testing to allow publishing Android IRL live streaming apps to Google Play store

Alpha benefits over app versions published via GitHub releases

  • Automatic updates when new versions are released.
  • Smaller file sizes.

Closed testing (aka alpha) registration

I have to manually add email that you use to access Google Play account to a list of testers.

If you're interested in joining please send me your email to dimadesu@gmail.com or DM me in Discord @dimadesu.

After email is added to alpha testing

After your email is added to the list of alpha testers you can visit the links below. You have to be logged in into Google Play store in the browser with Google account that uses email that you provided. Links will have a button to become tester. After clicking a button you'll be able to download the app.

Background

I've built 3 Android IRL live streaming apps based on Belabox, Moblin and IRL Pro ideas and code primarily focusing on using action camera feed as source via USB or RTMP to allow re-streaming their video/audio using SRT protocol with dynamic bitrate and SRTLA bonding (using multiple device connections to improve reliability).

The apps have already went through months of testing by a number of users, so they are pretty stable and ready for publishing to Google Play Store to share them with a wider audience.

My Android apps are:

  • LifeStreamer - use action camera's RTMP/USB feed as source, re-stream feed as SRT with adaptive bitrate.
  • Bond Bunny - SRTLA bonding app. Takes SRT, forwards packets via multiple connections to SRTLA server like Belabox Cloud.
  • MediaSrvr - run RTMP server as an Android app.

So far I was releasing .apk files using Github releases on each project's Git repo.

I'm trying to publish apps on Google Play store now.

Publication requirements

The requirement for each app is to pass closed testing (aka alpha) and have at least 12 users to join testing and install/use app for 2 weeks.

After that each app can advance to the next major review and if no issues found it can be published publicly.

Questions / more details

If you need more information or have questions/issues feel free to email/DM me, join Discord server https://discord.com/invite/2UzEkU2AJW or log Git issues on repos.

Future

You can still sign up for alpha to get new versions faster.

Thanks!
