MediaMonkey for Android test builds

Post by rusty »

Note: MediaMonkey for Android test builds are no longer being posted to this thread and are instead being posted as 'MediaMonkey' builds on the Google Play store.

To participate:
1) Install the latest version of 'MediaMonkey' via
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nkey&hl=en

note: if you have 'MediaMonkey Beta' installed, first uninstall it.

2) Register in Google Play for the beta program via:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/co ... ediamonkey

After a period of time, your MediaMonkey build will automatically be updated to the latest beta version (and will continue to be automatically updated with the latest beta builds unless you de-register from the beta program).

Test Notes:
  • MediaMonkey 1.2.0 and above are only compatible with Android 4+
  • If testing USB or WiFi Synchronization, please update to the latest version of the MediaMonkey for Windows beta build
  • Some functionality will expire after 15 days unless you update to MediaMonkey Pro. Installing a new build resets the timer.
Enjoy and please let us know what you think!

Hi,

Although the beta is being run from the Google play store, for this build, an APK is being made available in case you don't have access to the google play store. See the 'Download' section below to learn how to access it.

The most significant changes in this build are:
  • Fixed
    - Image searches can fail
    - SD card operations fail on some devices. This change is very significant and may introduce some regressions re. SD card handling (though we haven't observed any in our limited testing to-date. Please share your results with us.

    A complete list of changes appears is in the changelog.

    Download
    • MediaMonkey for Android beta builds are available via the play store by registering as a beta user:
      • 1) If you're a tester of 'MediaMonkey Beta', uninstall 'MediaMonkey Beta'. This will delete existing settings (and may delete files synced with MediaMonkey depending on your OS version, so you'll have to resync, but it's a one-time operation).
        2) Install the latest version of 'MediaMonkey' via
        https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nkey&hl=en
        3) Register in Google Play for the beta program via:

        After a period of time, your MediaMonkey build will automatically be updated to the latest beta version (and will continue to be automatically updated with the latest beta builds unless you de-register from the beta program).
      Test Notes:
      • - MediaMonkey 1.2.0 is compatible with Android 4+
        - If testing USB or WiFi Synchronization, please update to the latest version of the MediaMonkey for Windows beta build (4.1.12)
        - Some functionality will expire after 15 days unless you update to MediaMonkey Pro. Installing a new build resets the timer.

      b) it'll help us expand our beta-testing user base
      c) it'll help help us manage the transition from Alpha to Beta to Release more efficiently
