Make online version updatable?

[Pentaphon]

It seems that the only way to get the online version is to grab it from the github releases page but there's no way to keep it updated except downloading it again and again from that page. Will there be a long term updating solution for people who want to use your player over SMB, for example?

Maybe you can submit the online version to https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ so we can add that repo to f-droid and izzydroid can always pull the online version for you?

Another alternative is own F-droid repo. Or maybe just use some "Android auto update" library, like this one: https://github.com/javiersantos/AppUpdater

Yes! Whatever it takes to make the online version updatable. As long as there's one way rather than no way, I'll take it and I think many other users will take it as well.

@moneytoo another issue related to this is that when I install the 0.21 online version from github as I have now, the Google Play Store sees it and keeps trying to update it with the 0.21 play-offline version. We need some kind of way to prevent this.

From now on, the online version uses separate id so Play Store won't update it.

Automatic update check (against GitHub, ran every couple of days) & notification if there's a new version (Update button points to GitHub release page).
