No.
The apk on Android TV (Nexus Player, ADT-1) is the same as other android devices. The look of the UI is from the Android TV api's.

I spent some of the $25 google gave me on some play store stuff including, plex, bubbleUpnp, and already had imediashare. For rendering i've got n7, galaxy nexus and an un55d7050 tv. Media players include vlc, mx player, and weeded out a couple that I didn't have much luck with.
What works best for me, the easiest, and least amount of dicking around is a combination of MX Player and BubbleUpnp. I'm streaming from an NAS on my home lan and everythig else is visible on the lan.
To make this work you'll have to screw around with handbreak (or at least I had to) to figure out what codec works best depending on what your streaming and to which renderer.
Good Luck!
Edit/ Twonky Media Server works really good as well, installed to my NAS......Yup, everything these days is pretty much dlna capable.

After I updated to 4.3, Non of Video players such as MX Player Pro or VLC or Mobo player are working, MX player says unsupported android and VLC just plays Audio for MKV files.
Any suggestions?? Really disappointing

email the developers, let them know that they need to update their apps for android 4.3. if their app users dont tell them, they might not know that it needs an update until much later on.

I have seen in other threads that VLC (nightly) now works with 4.3. The link below says the fixed version it is not yet available on the playstore.
See: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=112549
I'm still holding out for MX Player Pro hoping that it will be fixed before the OTA gets to my machine. The OTA has begun to rollout on Jul 26th late at night on US east coast (Florida was one place mentioned).
Vplayer has 4.3 support, but give it a few days for the rest

VPlayer seems to be working fine. They updated it like yesterday.

video players not working android 4.3
the same happen to me. vlc beta plays only audio but no video, mx player pro unsupported android version. Hopefully they will fix this.
So VLC only plays audio for me, and VPlayer is really really laggy. Like, videos are only showing half of their frames.
Are there any actually functional video players on 4.3 right now?

...did... did you read my post? I said VPlayer is incredibly laggy on my Nexus 4, almost non-functional.
Guys, sorry to derail this topic, but
How do you send mkv files to the Nexus 4?
When I connect it to my PC there's no option to use it as a traditional drive copy/pasting files from my computer.
Thanks in advance.

Streaming sports and movies

Do you stream sports or movies on your Nexus 7. If you do how? I've tried streaming through Firefox with flash player but get too much ads, the video stops playing and can't set flash to full screen. Any alternatives like sites or apps you guys use to stream?
The site I use is firstrow.

Use the AdBlock Plus addon in Firefox. Works great.

MLB.TV 60 fps?

Will the mlb.tv app currently on the nexus player be updated to accommodate the new 60 fps update for the 2016 season? So far I only see Shield TV listed as a supported android device along with Sony tv's.
New updated app out today. v2.0
Does it work for you? I'm on the latest MLB at bat 5.1.1 and it force closes when I try to watch a game. I've had to resort to casting from my desktop. The app worked fine last season on my Nexus player

I'm actually using Kodi with the mlb.tv add-on. It works great and is 60 fps, unless mlb screws up with their feeds which can happen from time to time.
Here is a link to the add-on, you have to use your mlb.tv login info. Not sure if you've used kodi on a nexus player or not, if you need or want any help installing this add-on let me know. Kodi should be on your nexus player or you can d/l from the play store. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=262745
The native mlb.tv app that came on the nexus player was only giving 30 fps that is why I went the kodi way, maybe they will eventually have 60.
That's brilliant! thanks!
