Testing
The Reflux beta.
The beta is not open yet. When it opens, this page will be where testers start: what to install, where, and how to tell us what happened.
What will be tested
Beta builds are numbered 0.9.0-beta.1, beta.2, and so on, each with its notes on Releases. Today’s development version is 0.9.0-alpha.2.
How each platform joins
- Android phones, tablets, and Google TV
- Google Play’s closed testing. You join with the Google account you use on the device, then install Reflux from Google Play as usual; updates arrive the same way.
- Fire TV
- The Amazon Appstore’s Live App Testing. You receive an invitation for your Amazon account and install from the Appstore on the device.
- Windows and Linux
- Builds from Reflux’s GitHub releases, linked from Download, each with its SHA-256 and the commit it was built from.
Testers are chosen for coverage: the devices, sources, and controllers they use, so that Reflux is tried on as many setups as possible.
Reporting a problem
- What you were doing, on which device, and what you expected.
- In Reflux: About Reflux → “Save a support report”. It holds your version, device, sources’ kinds, the last playback, and recent problems, with passwords, addresses, file paths, and titles removed. Reflux never sends it; you attach it.
- Send both through Support.
Known limits
- Windows builds are not signed by a publisher yet (Download says what that means).
- Dolby Vision is not claimed on any device, and HDR on Windows is shown tone-mapped.
- Downloads for offline continue only while Reflux is open.
