Minstrel - asking for early testers

[imush]

Having some music at home NAS and traveling by car fairly often, I have for years been using minimserver over BubbleUPnP. However, bubbleupnp was lacking in several areas and has not made any improvements.

So I decided to write my own player app and transport server (not the media server, minim is great). I would like to introduce Minstrel.

What I hope will make it better than bubbleupnp:

Ease of configuration:
* Connect by sharing one token per device or QR code to your phone app
* Launchpad program for outbound connection runs from any NAS or router, I tested mac, Linux and FreeBSD. This is similar to BubbleUPnP server in some ways but not others.
* If you cannot or do not want to tweak your router, you can launch a small service image in the cloud to facilitate connections from both sides without opening inbound ports or touching the firewall. Works across CGNAT, carrier firewalls and whenever you do not control the router.
* App runs on Android or iOS (flutter), can easily build elsewhere
* Android Auto and Apple Car Play
* Gapless by default
* Open source (BSD 3 clause).

Other than this, at home it is just your typical UPnP/DLNA player control point; plays any audio or video locally or to any discovered renderer.

The app is built and works in my Android phone. What I need is a few early testers in the official stores, especially on Google Play and Apple App Store. It is currently in initial review at both stores. If you are interested, please send your email and platform (iOS or android) to support@minstrelplayer.org or PM here and I can send you an invite. Your email will be used only for this invite and only once.
