I'm running into the same problem. I just set up my nexus player yesterday, so I haven't been able to get Kodi on it at all yet. Hoping that it pops back up on the store.

Yea. I noticed that yesterday. Just got this on Friday and trying different roms. I can say it WAS in playstore on Friday but gone by yesterday afternoon.
Still available for the Razer Forge TV, hopefully temporary.

I loaded Kodi on Thursday and then removed to start a fresh build late Saturday night and when I went to the Play Store to load it, I couldn't find it. I screwed around for hours and subsequently beat my Nexus Player with my fists until it popped apart and bloodied my right hand, as assumed it was the device and then maybe a Google account issue. I eventually found the number for Google service and after about 20 minutes on the phone, they discovered there was an issue. The rep said he believed it was an issue with the developer and that it must've just happened because somebody else had called in to another rep about the issue while I was on the phone with him. Think the player is going to go back to the store, regardless of whether or not I damaged it permanently from beating it. By the way, Kodi IS still available on my Android tablet via the Play Store just not the Nexus Player. I might just take this as my red flag that the Nexus is going to be quirky in the future and be done with it.

It doesn't, that bug only existed for a couple weeks. It was fixed in 15.0 beta 1 back in the early spring. You're better off using the x86 version now.

Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market. Sounds nice, but whats behind the shiny chrome?
any way of forcing the update? Tried the old clearing data/cache/fc-ing, reboot ....but to no avail. am I to assume we must wait for it to roll out?
Google says that the update will roll out in the next days

So I download the NBA app on my GS3 and Nexus 7. You can watch games live on either one. You can log into your League Pass sub or buy it through the app. So I buy it on my GS3 and it bypasses the log-in screen and shows the game. On my Nexus 7 however, it asks me for the log-in info. The app says if you bought the sub through the app you wouldn't be asked for a username/password. Anyone have any idea how to get it working on my Nexus? I might have to bite the bullet and get a microUSB to HDMI so that I can watch on one of my monitors.
No dea. And the n7 doesnt have MHL so youll be wasting money on the tv out if you buy it

I was able to copy the APK from my Galaxy Nexus (nba.comdigital.gametimelite-2.apk) to my Nexus 7 and installed. No modifications to build.prop needed like I expected I would need. Not sure if the GS3 is a different apk from the GNex though?
Video and everything works great. KaliKot, he was talking about using video output from his GS3..

Its a problem with the app working with Android 4.2. I have the same issue on the Nexus 10. GS3 works fine running CM10 (ATT) and whatever JB stock version Sprint has out.
The reason I'm asking is because this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.directv.dvrscheduler) is one of the main apps I use on my nexus 10 and ever since I did the upgrade to 4.2.2 it exhibits stutter during live TV playback. I can't be certain this is related to 4.2.2 and thus my question, is anyone using this app with 4.2.2 and successfully playing back live TV stutter free? Like I said, it was stable for me up until just a couple weeks ago.
In the event there aren't too many others using this app does anyone know how to reach those who are responsible for developing and sending out stock os updates? It might not mean anything to them but I've thought of providing feedback around what I'm seeing and I guess it I'd worth a try. Who knows, maybe they could release a fix in the next update.
I have the app. Don't use it for watching shows because it's horrible. Basically use the dvr function to record shows. You could probably go to the website and complain. I think that i looked into it once before.
Have you seen their Ipad app? It is absolutely beautiful and works flawlessly. The guide looks just like the web version and it also has a built in remote so you can control all of your receivers. It is the one app that I want updated on android!

Yes, I've seen it on the iPad. The GUI is much better, as you mentioned, but typically the live playback was the same in my experience. They both looked acceptable on the iPad and my Nexus 10. Of course with 4.2.2 all that seemed to change and now I have stutter. I really hope this can somehow be resolved. I only use probably about 5 apps on my N10 on a consistent basis and this is one of them.

The app only allows for a select number, but I think there are quite a few, something like channel 200 and above. Personally, I watch it for The Tennis Channel and HGTV while I'm working out. Of course I can't any more since something seems to be an issue. I keep wondering whether anyone on 4.2.2 is able to stream live TV or not. I was able to do it with 4.2.1 just fine.

I just pulled up the DirecTv app for the first time since the 4.2.2 update to do live streaming. EXACT same problem as you. Stuttering where it was smooth before. Same is true for the tablet and phone version of the app. I would say 4.2.2 is the likely culprit unfortunately.

I'm guessing there's pretty much nothing you can do other than downrating in the market and explaining why. That's what I did.

I can't take this any longer. Watching DirecTV on my tablet was one of the primary reasons I purchased it. DirecTV just released a brand new app for Android and it looks almost identical to the iPad's (very nice GUI). But guess what? The stupid live streaming also fails on the Nexus 10 with the latest OS updates in the same way their other app did. Unbelievable. I've done what I can to contact DirecTV and Google about the issues, but I'm not seeing much response and since it has already been probably 4 months I'm not expecting a true resolution any time soon.
SO...this leaves me with taking matters in to my own hands. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to rooting, but I guess what I need to do is root the device and either install a different build or roll back the Google OS to 4.2.1, the version that worked with the DirecTV app. Could anyone point me in the right direction of what the best course of action might be to accomplish this? There are so many posts with what seems like so many options I am overwhelmed. Any guidance is appreciated.
Now with the update to 4.3 it won't stream at all. Just goes blank. Fantastic.

I'm getting the exact same thing after the 4.3 update. What is Google thinking!?!? And how long before they actually fix major bugs like this?
Finally finally finally. DirecTV has fixed this app. It doesn't appear the picture quality is as good as it used to be, but I'm not really going to complain about that. They at least have it operational again. Where I will complain is around the time it took to get a resolution. For as much DirecTV is advertising their mobile viewing ability with tablets and cell phones, this should have been an "all hands on deck" priority for them and it wasn't. DirecTV, you can do better, but for the moment, I will give them credit for getting it done.
just an FYI to my fellow VZW people, the samsung browser is available in the play store. on reddit, some vzw people said it still wasn't, while a few of us said it was, and we got it fine. i have it running with an ad blocker and all. try it out and see if it works for you. it's SO much faster than chrome, especially with Crystal (the ad blocker) so i deleted chrome. idc about synced bookmarks anymore honestly bc of how crappy chrome is on mobile.

Been using the 51 version since available, was also saying device not compatible, but today it links up perfectly to play store
I was using version 50 without a problem and the Playstore said it was incompatible until last Thursday when Playstore notified me of an update to Version 51. Let it update and runs perfectly.
So then, everything is working for you now?

I rooted my NP and put Pure Nexus on it. Looks great..but I can't get Netflix to work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and reflashing GAPPS to no avail.

This is really very frustrating. Hoping someone can shed some light on why it's happening. Thanks.

Netflix just came out blocking it from the Google Play Store if they notice your device is rooted or bootloader unlocked. Currently you should be able to play, they did announce that it will BLOCK playing going forward on rooted unlocked devices. I can't believe it!
