SluiceBox Closed Beta Testers Wanted (Android TV / Google TV)
Posted with Admin permission.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a few beta testers for SluiceBox, a media player that I've been building specifically for Android TV and Google TV devices.
Important: SluiceBox does not provide channels, movies, TV series, playlists, or subscriptions. It is simply a media player/interface. To use it, you'll need your own legal M3U/XMLTV source, a local playlist, or you can use the built-in demo source to explore the interface.
The app is designed for TV screens and remote controls—it is not intended for phones.
What you can test
- Live TV guide (EPG)
- Google TV remote navigation
- Search
- Program reminders
- Picture-in-Picture (PiP)
- Multiscreen playback
- DVR features (where supported)
- Favorites management
- Themes and UI customization
- Built-in demo mode for testing without connecting a provider
All beta testers will have access to the full Premium version during testing.
What I'm looking for
I'd really appreciate feedback on:
- First-time setup experience
- Overall UI and theme readability
- EPG navigation
- Movie and VOD browsing
- Performance, crashes, freezes, or anything that feels confusing
- Device compatibility (Shield TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Onn, Sony TVs, Fire TV, etc.)
How to join
This beta is being distributed through the Google Play Closed Testing program, so I'll need the Google account email associated with your Android TV device.
If you'd like to help:
1. Reply to this thread or send me a private message with your Google account email.
2. I'll add you to the tester list.
3. I'll send you the private Google Play download link.
I genuinely appreciate anyone willing to take the time to test the app and share honest feedback. Every suggestion and bug report helps make SluiceBox better.
Thank you!
