Development & Setup

Anyone who wants to contribute to emitron can do so by cloning the repo and setting up the project.

However, only subscribers have access to streaming videos and Professional subscribers are allowed to download videos for offline playback.

Setup (client_api_key)

1. Create a new file named gradle.properties in the project-level folder.
2. Copy gradle.properties.dist contents to gradle.properties.

Setup (google-services.json)

1. Open Google Firebase console.
2. Create a new project with an arbitrary name.
3. Add an Android app by following the instructions.
4. For the package name, put in com.razeware.emitron. You don't need the SHA-1 signing certificate.
5. Download the google-services.json file from the newly created app.
6. Add google-services.json to the app folder within the project.

That's it! You should be able to run the app and make your contributions! :]

Optional Secrets

The emitron download feature requires a special secret key in gradle.properties:

• app_token. Required in order to enable downloads. This is not provided in the repo, and is not generally available. Additionally, if you don't own a "Professional" subscription, you won't be able to use downloads.

NOTE: To get the release build secrets, check the emitron S3 bucket, or contact [email protected]. Developers should never need these, as CI will handle it.

If you are working on the download functionality and are having problems without an app_token, contact [email protected] and somebody will assist you with your specific needs.
