i have a xmltv file for live channels how to build android live tv compatible app for nexus player

Hi,
I'm looking to create a tv live streaming app and I need some guidance about the server needed and libraries codes to start.
Thanks!
are you going to start your own streaming server or only a streaming client?
I've develop my own tv streaming app and use Vitamio library.
If I have downloaded movies on my nexus 7 2012, 4.4.4, how can I play them on my TV? I download movies that are a variety of formats. Usually play them on my tablet with MX, Diceplayer, or VLC. Is there anyway to get them on my TV? I have a 7 year old Panasonic plasma TH-50PX80U.
Chromecast. If you have hmdi.

i thought chromcast would play certain subscription channels. i want to play movies from my nexus 7 2012, that are playing video files that i copied to the device, and they are playing in vlc, mx, diceplayer, etc.
Chromecast can do this, you can stream directly from certain apps on your device, or from your chrome browser on any PC, to the chromecast via your wifi network.
There are also other apps that help extend this functionality on our device, such as localcast and allcast, both free in the play store.
I've streamed movies/tv from MX player to my chromecast using the allcast app and it worked pretty well.
There's also a mod available to stream your screen to the chromecast without needing an extra app; i've not had the chance to test this myself yet, but it's been reported to work well (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193) .
This functionality is now native to the 2013 Nexus 7, but sadly not for grouper
The link "[EXPERIMENTAL] Enable Mirroring from any device" that you mentioned said that we need to have "root access on your device". How would I know if I have root access?
Am I right in saying that this does not include cable box pass through. i.e. I cannot use this device to search through by cable channels like I can with Google TV?
Right

Thanks. But darn, that's a big loss IMHO
Personally I use a hdhomerun prime and a windows 7 box with WMC to record TV. Have ServerWMC installed there which allows XBMC to be used as a WMC client for viewing live TV and recorded programs as well. I am already doing this with two FireTVs so doing it on the nexus player will be a no brainer. I don't miss a cable company STB and since the player has googlecast support I finally have everything I need in one box.

Google wants us watching Google "TV" via the Internet: Youtube, Play Movies etc.
Google does not want us watching cable, satellite or OTA TV. Google doesn't make money on advertising or content there.
Same deal with OTA FM radio (despite Android One, which is only for "developing" markets.)

This is not the case at all, and in fact quite the opposite. there is even a tv input framework built into android tv and they were demoing the tv app with a hdhomerun at google i/o
i suspect that they will be working with stb manufacturers to deliver live tv over IP, and we will probably see other hardware shortly with HDMI in.
check out the framework here https://developer.android.com/training/tv/tif/index.html
and showing it off at i/o with the live tv bit

BEST NEWS ALL WEEK.
I'd still like an official Windows Media Center Extender app, but watching live from the HDHomeRun is a huge win.
I'm pretty excited. I think they have cracked the input problem with the new framework. I suspect there will be a slew of network tuners coming to market for android TV.
SiliconDust HDHomeRun VIEW
Just to update this line of thought, SiliconDust released an updated version of their VIEW app on Friday.
This allows you to use their network tuners to view live TV on Android. While they listed official support only for the ADT-1, I've had some luck with my Nexus Player. I suspect the trouble is from the difference in the ADT-1 being ARM based while the Player is x86. You can keep an eye on their development on their Android TV development forum.
For me, it works perfectly from their VIEW app (which shows up in the leanback launcher without needing to go into chainfire's side launcher). The problem arises when trying to go through the TV Input plugin. I can see the channels, and sometimes get sound, but never video and usually a "tune failed" toast.
Particularly relevant to the OP might be that I'm using their Prime tuner which has a CableCard so basically replaces my Comcast STB.
I'm using Philips android tv and my LeTV live app can't find it when it scans for smart tv to cast live videos. Does LeEco have some kind of app to install on android tv?
I own a CHANNEL MASTER Android set top box. I bought the thing so that I can continue to enjoy Over The Air free ATSC broadcast tv. The CHANNEL MASTER via GOOGLE's LIVE CHANNELS app lets me view,schedule and DVR.
I buy an ANDROID Tv with the hope to plug in my antenna and a formatted USB harddrive and use LIVE CHANNELS app to do the same. I read somewhere that some European models (Phillips) allow OTA, dvr and provide EPG. LIVE CHANNELS app on my HISENSE 43A6G (a native GOOGLE app) does nothing !! No EPG No DVR option !!
Can someone here point me to how to MOD the LIVE CHANNELS app to enable these options. Has anyone even considered this ? I seems obvious that an ANTENNA tv should at least provide EPG.
It's next to unbelievable that any ANDROID smart tv with LIVE CHANNELS app lacks OTA dvr and EPG capabilities !!
Android TV puts a focus on helping you discover the content you can enjoy on your TV, whether it's through one of your subscription services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Google Play Music, or from your own personal media collection via media center software like Plex.

Not an answer to my question.
Find a copy of the app from the euro TV and install it.
