Google Play Store for Android TV Missing! - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, After rooting the Nexus player and installing "Aptoide" to assist with sideloading apps, I came across with the Google Play Store app disappearing from the "Launcher" and reappearing in the installed "Sideload Launcher" except its not the "TV Play Store" what happened here? This has actually happened twice, after rooting... anyone had this problem? Thank-You

SOLVED! I deleted "Aptoide" from the player (settings/apps) and deleted the cache from the Google Play Store (again settings) restarted the player and the "Play Store for Android" returned to the launcher! I'll try other methods to install APK's.

[Q] Play Store Issue

My Play store is being odd...
I can see all of my apps in the Play store, all of my apps auto update with no problem. I can install an app that I see, but I can't search for an app.
If I use the Play store search function it offers up music, and movies, but never apps.
Any ideas?

Google appears to have "closed the loophole" on the Web Play Store

We used to be able to install some apps that didn't show on the Nexus Player Play Store, using the version. However, I just noticed that apps that used to be available for the Nexus Player, are no longer installable. Check for instance Now Browser, and Chrome. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Lollirock 2.0 shows up as a Nexus Player still to the Play store. Won't let me install a lot of applications.
EDIT: Ok it still lets me do Dead Trigger 2.

Can't find Netflix in Play Store of my new Android TV/Nexus Player

I just got a new Android TV/Nexus Player device. And was able to find other media apps either installed as soon as I set things up or via going to the Google Play Store app in the Android TV device. But I have not been able to find Netflix. And when I go to Google Play using a PC web browser, the page for the Netflix app says that Netflix is not compatible with my "No carrier Asus Nexus Player".
Anyone know why? I've searched here and been unable to find an answer so far. I know there's the ability to side load apps. But being new to Nexus Player, I'd just like to get Netflix quickly installed via Play Store if possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Worked with Netflix support. Did a hard reset and entered my Google credentials manually. And Netflix is there now.
Just setup my Nexus Player... same issue. Netflix is MIA on the device and Google Play Store says Nexus Player isn't compatible.
Can you provide a bit more detail on the fix Netflix gave you? Hard reset what? The NP? Manually entered Google credentials? Where? TIA.

Reset to factory settings
After you reset to Factory settings, the first thing on screen will be a prompt for Language/Region. Be sure you pick the correct one for where you are, since Netflix won't work with some selections. I don't know which don't work. Mine is "English US". After that, you'll be asked to setup your Google account. Which you can do via web browser or entering your Google ID/password manually on the Nexus Player. I entered my manually on the Nexus Player.
I've attempted resets and manually entering passwords, disabling location, enabling location and still no luck.
This is a brand new out of the box Nexus Player yet I cannot access Netflix due to it thinking I'm "out of region" or something.
Just got mine today and same problem. What I did was go to settings>apps (under the device menu). Under system apps, find Google play store and click it. Click force stop and OK it. Clear cache, then clear data. Click open and Netflix should be there.
Same problem.
try update your Nexus player to lolipop 5.1.1 in Setting > apps > About
go on the google play website and find Netflix compatible with android tv
Same problem; updated to 5.1.1, factory reset, updated all apps, still no Netflix available on Google Play.
So I downloaded the APK found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/netflix-apk-t3121671
and installed it. Worked perfectly.
It seems there are newer versions of the apk (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/) but I haven't tried it.
I don't have a micro USB adapter to use an external storage, so I placed the apk on a windows share in the network and pulled it with ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player.
You need to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps in Settings, Security.

Netflix will not show/install if it detects root

Just grab the APK file somewhere legit. That's what I did when it didn't appear in the Play Store. Maybe you can even request it from them. I dunno.

Google play music

I have the sony smartwatch 3 and I was trying to sync play music from my phone to my watch but everything time I tap the "Turn on music sync" button its says "Google play services needs updating" I have checked and I am on the latest version already. Someone also suggested uninstalling play services and reinstalling it, except I am not able to uninstall it. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? TIA
Same here. I wonder why nobody else encountered this. Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem

Chinese Axon 7 Google Play problem. Can't install Large App.

Hi. User of Chinese Axon 7 (A2017)
And im currently cannot install large app from Google play Store. Everything above >50MB will trigger play store to Not responding (after download near 100%)
Ive tried install other version playstore and play service and it did the same thing. Is there any fix? Thanks
It happened to me too. I've cleared the chach from the play store app and also from the play service, then reboot.
Hi, had the same problem
Check the premission of the Google Play Store, Google Play store must have premission to the "Storage"
In Settings - Apps page,slecte Google Play Store ,tap permission).
