Overview:

The Hercules Player is an application that allows customers to download videos to their computer or device for offline playback, along with streaming playback of videos for online playback.

A new feature has been added that allows users to upload, manage, and view their own videos inside of the application, called Personal Content DVR (PCDVR). 

This contest is part of a continuing effort to ensure the app works as expected.

This bug hunt is focused on all functionality of the app.  Note that Android does not yet support photos - that is an iOS-only feature at the moment while we work on photos for Android.

Contest Scope

The goal of this competition is to clearly identify the limitations of the provided application and ensure the functionality of the app works as expected, including photos and videos.

Things to test:

• The functionality works on Android devices (phone and tablet).
• The download to go functionality works for offline playback
• The bug fixes for version 1.0.9.8, available in the forum
• The new photo uploading, editing, and viewing works appropriately.

Screenshots

Note that for every bug you assign to a specific OS, you MUST provide a screenshot for that platform. This is a requirement to ensure proper test coverage on each platform. For instance, if you assign a bug to Windows and OS X, but you don't provide a screenshot for OS X, the bug will be rejected.

Main Requirements

These are the main pieces of functionality in the app. The entire app is in scope, but please make sure to test these:

General Functionality

• The functionality works on both phones and tablets.

Specific Functionality

• Uploading and viewing a video
• Adding albums
• Renaming videos and editing name after uploading
• Setting video thumbnail
• Moving videos between albums
• Removing videos
• Ensuring syncing works between devices under the same account
• Deleting albums and individual videos
• New videos taken are shown when the app is started and the user is prompted to upload them
• Downloading a video works and the video is available to playback offline and shows up in the "To Go" option in the footer.

Users

User details will be provided in the forum.

Format

For each report of a limitation or bug, we need the following information:

1) Steps to reproduce, including any needed information
2) Screenshots (if applicable)
3) Expected results after the bug is fixed
4) Current results, before the bug is fixed
5) OS version (4.1, 4.2.2, etc...)
6) Device type and description (Galaxy S III, Nexus 7, etc...)

Only actual bugs will be counted. Tickets logged for enhancements or issues that aren't bugs won't be counted.

When in doubt, always provide a screenshot. Screenshots are very helpful due to the graphical nature of the application and help clarify bugs. If you don't provide a screenshot, there's a good chance your bug will be rejected.

You will log your tickets here: https://apps.topcoder.com/bugs/browse/HPBU You must select the "Personal Content DVR Android" component for each logged issue or it may not get counted during review.

OR Submission

You MUST submit a file with a list of your reported bugs into OR during the submission phase, for review purposes. If you do not do this, you will not get credit for any logged bugs!
