Hello I just recently got a nexus player. And I love how snappy it is but it seems like it has some serious reliability issues. Whenever I load my kodi build on there after installing helix 15.2 it mostly loads up but a lot of the addons will fail to update. A lot of working addons that work fine on my fire tv but refuse to install on the nexus player and eventually get auto erased. Is this normal or is there something I'm doing wrong I bought about 4 of these for gifts and they all do the same thing. I try to force update and they do not update the addons.

Has anyone gotten AIV to run on the nexus 7?
Have tried installing the apk from this post.
Have tried installing Flash and Firefox.
Can get everything working until I try to load a video. Then crash.

That apk is for Gingerbread....you have to wait and see if the XDA community can rip the new player off the Kindle Fire HD which is running ICS.
I have instant video working on my Nexus7. I downloaded the latest flash apk directly from the adobe website, if it is older than yours, uninstall the old one before installation. I uninstalled Firefox beta and installed the latest official release. Then I set Firefox to start the flash player only on demand. I would restart the tablet after both apps are installed.
When I have a video frame, I have to click in the middle to activate playback. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time and it is necessary to double click on the box, then do another double click to reduce zooming back to normal. Finally, to get sharp and smooth playback, it is usually necessary to click the full screen button on the player. Good luck.
I can not download the flash player from Adobe. It continues to send me to the play store. Can you send me the apk?

Just got a new N7 2013 32gb from Best Buy to replace my existing N7 16 gb and while the new one is definitely better in almost every way, the CNN and Xfinity apps do not seem to work at present. None of the videos on CNN or the Live TV feature work, they just say 'Video Not Available' when trying to play a video. Xfinity app also just shows a blank screen when trying to play a video. Both of these apps work fine on the older N7.
Thankfully Netflix seems to work just fine. I came across a few posts on android central about CNN not working with the new N7 too.
Any one else experienced the same or knows a fix for this? This seems to be an app level issue : may be they need to be updated for 4.3 / N7 but if there is workaround, that would be great. The Live TV feature on CNN is particularly useful and would be great to have it back.

Update: Just downloaded a 720p mkv file and I get no audio using BS Player Pro or ES Video Player on the new nexus but the same files plays back without issue on the older n7. This is disappointing to say the least, looks like some codecs are missing on this new device. To be clear my older N7 was rooted but that was it, everything else was stock. This may be an issue with 4.3 or a S4Pro vs Tegra 3 issue with the S4 missing some audio codec support.
Will have to hang on to the old one for a while it seems as the new one still has kinks that need to be resolved.
I just used the Xfinity app on my unlocked and rooted new Nexus 7. Worked fine for me.

Xfinity App works fine for me, both downloaded and streamed content. Watch ESPN also worked, but Watch ABC seems to be hit our miss.
CNN App does not work.

Ok, xfinity started working for me after clearing the data and restarting the app, doing the same for CNN did nothing as it still does not work.
This is not something that root and unlocking can fix so not really inclined to do that right now.
The audio on the 720p mkv file so far only works with vplayer , an obscure media player that I found on the play store. Hoping BSPlayer will update their player for Nexus 7 soon.
Ok, so it turned out the latest version of BS Player 1.9.152 removed DTS/AC3 support because of licensing issues with Dolby, so had to manually downgrade to .151 through an apk posted online ( I own the pro license). If anyone uses BSPlayer (best media player in my book) please keep that in mind. So right now the only remaining issue is the CNN app, hope they fix it sooner than the 6 months+ they took to officially support the original N7 and another 3 months before live streaming was added.
Update: The CNN app on the play store states that they are aware of the issues with 4.3 and are working on fix, hope that comes soon.
The MLB.TV app for Android TV updated to v1.3.4 recently.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bamnetworks.mlbtv
This new version only shows a black screen when trying to watch any video on it. Has anyone else encountered this problem on their Nexus Player? I don't think it's a regional blackout issue because videos are playable on the MLB At Bat app on my Nexus 5 which is still able to cast content over to the Nexus Player. The MLB.TV app was working fine at v1.3.2 but I don't have a saved copy of the older APK file to revert back to.
Anyone? The problem is still ongoing so until the MLB.TV app starts working properly, it's only good for displaying scores. I'll just have to cast games over to the Nexus Player instead.
Same problem since last update (that was on Saturday I think..)
Some good folks on Reddit got it working by disabling and re-enabling Location in the android settings and then reinstalling the app but no luck for me. Tried bunch of times, many reboots, clear cache etc..
Sadly, I can't find an older .apk to downgrade
At least now I know I'm not the only one who's experiencing this. Can you post a link to the reddit page where they discussed this problem? I think you're referring to https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/3isfu0/mlbtv_premium_broken_after_update/ if I'm not mistaken. I tried the location setting adjustment and uninstall / reinstall of the MLB.TV app on my Nexus Player but that still didn't fix the video problem. The radio streams work but who installs this app on Android TV to listen to radio streams? I'm disappointed that MLB.TV v1.3.3 and v1.3.4 were released without adequate testing.

It seems to be working on Shield and some Sony TVs :S
I wonder if upgrading to M Preview could help
October is coming.. better fix this soon
FYI I flashed M preview 3 to find out MLB.tv doesn't work on Prev 2&3 ..
Flashed last factory image for 5.1.1 and now the app works perfectly. FINALLY
I'd rather not reflash my Nexus Player with a factory image. I flashed Android 5.1.1 (LMY48J) a few weeks ago and don't plan to start over until Android 6.0 Marshmallow is officially released this year. It's disappointing that the MLB.TV app is still problematic but I'll stick with casting games and video clips from MLB At Bat until things change for the better.
Hmmm, now that Google has released Android 5.1.1 build LMY48N, I may go ahead and flash that factory image and try the MLB.TV app after a clean install.

Okay, so MLB.TV v1.3.4 is working on a clean install of Android 5.1.1 LMY48N. I've noticed that when I install AdAway and its latest hosts file, however, this leads to the black screen issue with MLB.TV videos.

OMG.. so that means the only reason why I couldn't watch games was that I had AdAway?
I think so, @koperniczx3. I wish I had realized it before I resorted to a clean install of Android but it seems to be what causes the black screen issue on my current configuration. Once the AdAway hosts file is disabled and the Nexus Player is restarted, MLB.TV videos play again. I think that this conflict with AdAway has something to do with this line from the MLB.TV v1.3.3 changelog:
- Support for Pre Roll Ads on Free Game of the Day and Game Recaps for free mlb.com registered users.
I'll just have to do without AdAway until after the MLB postseason. The ironic thing is that AdAway has a "Log DNS Requests" feature that could be used to identify and whitelist the MLB server(s) but that feature is generally inaccessible on Android TV because the 3 dots menu in that app (and other sideloaded apps) is missing on Android 5.1 and higher.

your problem is related to the remote itself. defective or not, i don't know but the problem when the Nvidia goes randomly to the homescreen is related to the remote. maybe someone from NVIDIA could tell if it fixable or you should send the remote for an RMA.
I had the same issue using Netflix, which was quite annoying. Fortunately the next day it just worked fine. (Knock on wood!)

Same problem sometimes when trying to load a ROM via SNES9x or Mupen64 emulators.
it has nothing to do with the product but the controller itself...the problem is the sensitivity. Your finger print actually stays on there. If you wipe it, it will go away.
Yes this bug sucks

Got the same here, had it on plex, Netflix, kodi ... rather annoying

Hi All,
I own a good old Nexus 10.
Soon after resetting it, it works fine and it is fast.
The problem is that after having updated the native apps and installed only Opera browser and Netflix, it becomes extremely slow, slaggish and it freezes!
Is there a way to make it still usable depute its age? I need to use it only as a media player (listen to music and watch videos in streaming).
Thank you
P.S.: It has Android 5.1.1 and it is updated to last available security patches
Try with DivestOS, it is faster. https://divestos.org/
