The App is currently under a pretty significant rewrite.  I posted in the
beta test channel on g+ :

It is currently allows you to watch recordings and most videos that can be
converted with HLS.  You can also trigger a HLS transcode from port 6544 in
the browser and it will get picked up by the app for playback.

I am not quite ready to put out an official APK at this point.  But you
would like to try it out, you can setup Android Studio, grab the code from
github and let me know what is working and what is not working.

Here is a development apk on google drive.  Access should be public.  If
you are interested in side loading it, grab it from here.  However, I will
not be maintaining this link on an ongoing basis.

If you have any questions or issues, please post them to the github issues
repository.  Screens are still under pretty active development and I need
to build a directory browser for the videos.  I have also found that HLS
does not work for my mkv files on my backend.  Not sure what is going on
there, but something on the backend isn't producing playable HLS streams,
even though the .ts files appear to be valid.

This isn't an official release by any means, but if you are interested in
trying it out, i would appreciate your feedback.
