can this be turned off in the settings? Sometimes when may girlfriend is running kodi she turns the tv off first which sends a power cycle command to the nexus player, but kodi picks it up and locks down the program somehow. The only thing I can do is pull the plug and restart.
Check the settings in Kodi. I know on the RasPi versions they have options to disable CEC response. Should be under input devices/peripherals if it is retained on the Android TV version. The Android TV itself should not be power cycling itself by default. Only thing I've ever seen it do is pause any currently playing media when the TV is shut off. But I may be completely wrong. I am still relatively new to the Nexus Player myself.

I own several Fire sticks and a Fire TV. The mandatory intro video is super annoying and searching online, it seems as if no one was able to bypass the video. I finally figured out a quick and easy way to skip it. Simply enter a voice command with the Fire TV remote (if you have one) and then press the home button.
Don't have a remote with voice control? No problem. Download the Amazon Fire TV Remote App for your Android or IOS device and connect your phone or tablet to the same WiFi network. Now, begin setting up your Fire Stick. Once it's connected to WiFi, you'll be able to sync the two devices and use the phone or tablet as a remote. Now, when you get to the annoying intro video, pull down from the top of the remote app and do a voice search [for anything - I use "YouTube"]. When the device begins looking for it, you'll be able to exit the intro video with the home button.
Do you know any current ways that work to skip intro?
Hey do you know any current ways to skip the intro, thanks for the post but I can't get to work.
Me either
Just tried this and didn't work, you can though scroll the video across to the end if using the firetv app on Android phone.
Just tried all the above and none worked. Using the app to enter the device setting finally shut the annoying thing up though
It's in the 9 square grid between the pull down Microphone and the Keyboard icon.

Hi,
I get fire sticks direct from the suppliers and can confirm my latest batch allows you to skip the intro video's!
I. Do alot per day and i find only 1 in 4 batches i get can be fast forwarded, the rest i have to sit through the intro...and thats secknd gen sticks
1) the volume of the shield goes low when i switch on or leave from standby after a while. i have to use the controller to re-adjust the volume each time
as i do have it connected to an amp
2) when the device goes to sleep and i am watching a video, the video itself is just off and i have to manually resume each time - this is mainly in kodi, usually i would go back to screen its on, but now it just goes to the selection page
anyone know what i can do
thansk
Hi all,
just having some issues with switching off my RK3288 box if the HDMI connection is lost.
The TV box is mounted in my car and power is switched off if I pull out the key. This is for sure a dirty power off and I don´t like it at all.
I tried different apps for switching the box off.
Unfortunately every time the box switches off for a second and goes back on.
If I could find a power off app that really switches off, instead to reboot, I could get that working with Tasker...
Any tips for a power off app, that really switches off a RK3288 box?
Seems that recently my nexus player remote has just cropped out. Currently I'm using the android app as well as the HDMI-CEC functionality through the TV remote. Bluetooth on the player is functioning normally. The remote, no matter what, will not enter pairing mode when I hold the home and back buttons. The LED blinks three times in rapid succession and then nothing. Fresh batteries, nothing. Searched for it with other Bluetooth devices, nothing. What's up with my remote? Has this happened to anybody else? My player isn't even a year old yet :/
Did you find a solution to this? This just happened to me. Thought the batteries were dead but fresh batteries don't help.
Press and hold both the back button and the home key at the same time to enter pairing mode for the Nexus remote.
I've got the same problem, cant pair it anymore...

Try to install Android TV remote app from Google Play to your phone or tablet.
Hi,
I don' know if this is the right forum. I have a mecool KM2 android tv media player. The issue is that there is no option to turn off screensaver completely. In settings there is only to set the maximum of 2 hours before the screensaver kicks in. This is making every time the screensaver is loaded that programs like Kodi are shutdown and I have to restart them with all the necessary clicks to get back where I was last time. Is this a android tv missing feature to turn the screensaver completely off? Is there some other way to prevent the media player going into sleep mode?
Also unrelated to above, installing regular android apps on android tv is really hit and miss. Some apps won't start, and some when they start close unexpectedly.
Hope someone can point me into the right direction to solve this.
