[Q] Ps4 remote play? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tested ps4 remote play on the nexus player? I would think it would be nice to use like a Playstation TV. I don't have a NP so I can't try it.

Ive got it working but the quality of the stream lag wise is much to be desired! ive even got my NP connected over ethernet and its still rather bad input lag!

Just using usb cable hooked up to the ps3 controller
http://youtu.be/YOw81lDbSas
Thats me playing...
this is awesome. i've been looking forward to this game, and i'm really excited to see that there will be usb support! unfortunately, i just gotta wait for Google Checkout to refund the $2 authorization back to my prepaid credit card because there's just $4 left on it (no real c/c, so this is how I buy apps )
I'm pretty impressed with this game so far. I had no idea it had USB support. Anyone know if it supports bluetooth controllers too?

I used the xbox360 wireless controller, everything works, except the screen spin around. I need to research more on the xbox360 driver ...
I will test the ps3 bluetooth later on today.
Bought it online to get it from market oddly And i use 360 controller

Do you get the spinning screen when you play with the xbox360 controller? Cause mine does it and I use the wireless xbox360 pc controller.

No spinning here using an original wired 360 controller (yes, the exact one that came with my pre-ordered 360 back in 2005 lol)
Its kind of funny to mention though. I got spinning in Nova 2 the first time i tried to play it. Once I disabled sensor rotation, it was fine. Which reminds me, in 9mm, i recall a similar issue where the camera always wanted to look up no matter how i was holding the tab. Seems to be a common problem

How do you an Xbox controller with Nova 2?
Working perfectly with my PS3 controller, this game is really fun and looks fantastic!
No spinning screen bought the newer wired black style i haven't tried with my wireless with charging cord but that wasn't compatible with a lot of Linux distros so i doubt for it will 4 our nice little tab.

There is a program for controllers avaliable in the market that gives tablets driver support for most popular controllers including the wireless xbox360 controller. Maybe that would solve the spinning problem, which I too encountered. If you do try it, please let us know the results. If I remember the name of the program I will post it.

Onlive

Downloaded onlive today and so far its just alright. the lag and graphics need to be fixed, i'm on 25mbs wireless n and it lags. I have also got my sixaxis controller working via Bluetooth and everything works except right trigger in dirts 3 and split second.
oh sweet it does pick up controllers, yeah the lag is gonna fixed or people might have overloaded the service today. totoally worth it for the free game
Not available in Japan yet.
well it doesnt need to be ...
does the ps3 controller only work for certain games?
how about with lego batman since that is free
Well, I got it to work, and it seems ok, but I would like a higher resolution. Does it work with xbox360 controller or PS3?
I works with xbox 360 controler. For me there is no lags, but graphics looks bad. Waiting for updates - maybe they will do it better

is your 360 controller wired?
As for the resolution, I have noticed this since I have been using onlive for sometime. On my computer monitor it doesn't look that pretty, but when played on my htpc to my big screen looks amazing only time will tell they most likely will be fixing this soon.
On a side note I am having a wet dream were valve buys them
Im loving it. Installed last night and got up this morning with legobatman in my games! No lag here and i have crap broadband, with bt, Loads of games that i love for only a couple of quid! Game on ppl
P.S. xbox controller working for me, now i can play assassins creed revelations at work, llluuusssshhhhhh!
I dont have a 360 controller but i have read about somewhere and for sure it works.
The xbox 360 wired controller works great with onlive, but I have only played lego batman.

I have the PC wireless xbox 360 controller, but maybe I need to get the joystick app to get it working properly.

I can use it with emulators, but in shadowgun I just spin. The driver program is probably worth a shot, if not maybe I'll just get a PS3 controller.

[Q] Stream PC (Games) to Tablet?

In short, I want to use my Nexus 10 to play games on my Windows desktop, on the same network. I have a 5GHz router + Gigabit Ethernet, so the connection should (hopefully) be fine.
There are only two programs that I'm aware of that should be able to do this. Kainy, and Splashtop 2. Both programs have their own issues though.
With Kainy, if I use anything above Fair image quality, either the top or bottom-half of the screen on the N10 will be corrupted. Also it seems there is a decent amount of audio delay (video is fine, audio is behind), and the framerate on the N10 seems to drop drastically randomly.
With Splashtop 2, it works for the most part, except input is always treated as a tablet. For example, with just my N10 at all, if I try turning the camera on any 3D game, it will "spaz out" and go every which way and not behave as intended. If I plug in a USB mouse to my N10, it will do the same exact thing (I guess mouse input on Android is still seen as touch).
Not sure if there's any known fixes for the above issues I ran into (if there is, I'd love to hear ) but is there any other programs available that might help me be able to stream PC games to my Nexus 10 at decent framerate?

It is, but the app works (and can be purchased for) on the N10 strangely...
In any case, the THD version "does" work, but it puts a virtual joystick on-screen for camera controls it seems (I only tried it with the WoW profile). But touchscreen and mouse turning were still an issue.
I emailed Splashtop 2's support about it and they said it was something they were looking into.
The Kainy developer mentioned on his forums that the next version should fix some issues, which I'm hoping will fix the issues I'm having.

It's just streaming, not actually on the device. So you could play WoW or other games away from the computer. I used it for D3 and some fps games.

It would be nice when I'm not in-front of my computer. For example, I walk to a friend's house almost every weekend, and dragging my entire Desktop along is kind of a pain. Essentially, I would love to just be able to Stream games from my Desktop while it's at Home, to my tablet (which is far easier to take) There's also a coolness factor I would think if I would play some Guild Wars 2 from a tablet
Also it would be nice around the house too if I wanted to play some Dota 2 if I was downstairs or something lol.

I see, that makes sense, and it would be great to see if that's possible without lagg. The thing is if your friends wifi is fast as yours (in your house) o not.
It's almost Halloween so hey, I raise a post from the dead lol.
Is there now any viable way to stream pc games to an android device ?
I'd like to play Hearthstone while in bed And the game would perfectly fit on tablet design.

I have spent days trying to get something working and honestly nothing will work. Splashtop would be fine if it would accept the controller input better, half the time the code goes across as gibberish. I haven't tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android this yet but it may work better.
I will try some more tonight to see but since hearthstone is a card game (i think) then you may have a much easier time then me because I am trying to do psx2 over wifi.
Just tried splashtop and it works pretty great with hearthstone thanks a lot ! :good:

Netflix and Hulu issues

Anyone else still having issues with Netflix or Hulu? We just get errors saying things like trouble with playback at this time from both apps. Switch over to our Fire TV and don't have a single issue.
Wife wonders why the hell we even fool around with the NP. Can't really argue with her, but I want to believe in Android TV.

Yep been having the same issues. Really wish I would've just got a chromecast for my room now. Off subject but how's the fire tv compared to the nexus player

Fire TV is IMO the best streaming device on the market. You could make an argument for Roku, but I like the Fire TV because it can run Kodi. The only pros the NP has over the Fire TV are mpeg2 hardware deciding, Leanback Launcher, and built in Google cast. You can install an app on the FTV that allows casting for most all apps though.
The FTV just works. Never an issue with any apps like we see with the NP. I like the look and feel of Android TV better so I'm hoping they get these things straightened out.

thanks for the input. based on your experience I'm going to sell my NP and get a Fire TV. Streaming (including Prime video) and Kodi are what I care about most. I have a Fire TV stick, but it has poor wifi and the remote sometimes lags. I guess the regular Fire TV shouldn't have those problems.

I've been feeling the same. I live in an apartment and with multiple using netflix on the old chromecast we never had an issue, now only the logged in netflix account has streaming capabilities, and even then rarely it will work, wishing I went with chromecast 2.

After an hour of uninstalls resign ins and strange questions. They told me I need to reset my chromecast. After a 30 second pause I said, "huh"? Do you know what we're talking about here? I've got hulu so I cancelled my service.
Damn, I read this thread and am thankful I have not had an issue with netfix or the player. As someone who ones a fire tv, fire tv stick, and a nexus player. I have to say I like the player the most. If your net goes out the fire devices don't even load the menu. With the player I don't need to use another app to get kodi to launch from the main screen. I will say even with its issues the fire tv box does work really well. I notice the same remote lag on the box as I did the stick and I think its just the remote waking from sleep. It only lags if you have not used the remote in a while. I use the stick remote on my nexus player and it does the same thing. I don't like the players remote as it lacks a menu button. I do wish the player had ethernet.

Looking for a TV adaptor

I'm just curious as to if the Moto z force supports mhl or slimport. I see that slimport is coming out with a USB c to HDMI this month.

My best guess is that it uses slimport. But I don't know for sure. I'd like to use my chrome cast but the point for me to use the adaptor is because I'm going to be moving it around alot to different places. So having to set up the Chromecast each time would get annoying for me.

I tried the Chromecast and it won't work for what I need. I tried it with an n64 emulator and there was about a second delay between what happened on my screen and what happened on my TV. So I'm going to have to try an mhl and or a slimport.

How far are you from the router? Maybe upgrade or check your settings, I used it for FPse with an 8Bitdo Nes 30 Pro and had zero lag, that is why I recommended it.
