I was wondering if we can port the Playstation Vue app from the fire tv to the nexus player. It would make my nexus player allot more useful if I could watch live tv on it.
I sideloaded the app from the Fire TV. It opened properly but wouldn't load, I guess the app knew it wasn't running on the Fire TV. I called the PS Vue customer service and complained to them, hopefully they'll release a native app later. Until then hopefully someone can hack app.

I have been looking for the right android streaming player for me for that last couple months, and have had no luck. I first bought the Nvidia Shield TV, and wasn't pleased with the apps that were available. Then I bought Amazon Fire TV. Thought I would be pleased with that, but found out that the newest firmware is unrootable, so therefore can't customize it. Now I have bought the newest Nexus Player TV. Found it is rootable, but I don't know if it will give me what I want. I want to install the following apps on it and work flawlessly:
Netflix
HBO Go
Max Go
Starz Play
Showtime Anytime
EPIX
Pandora
SNES, NES, Playstation, RetroArch (CaveStory)...etc. emulator apps
I also own a Roku 3 and everything I mentioned above are installed except Starz Play, Max Go, and the emulator apps. They are not available on the Roku 3. At this I'm desperate and don't know if I should take this Nexus player back and buy a rooted Amazon Fire TV off of ebay or Craig's List. Does anybody have any advice for me?
ITV PLAYER
40D
CHANNEL 5
They have apps on fire tv but can these not run on NVIDIA SHIELD? IF ITS an apk file..
thanks
I've wondered this too, I know that in the early days people had a little success with the Nexus Player for some US on-demand apps. Problem is I've never been able to obtain the exact Amazon apks. Somebody from the UK needs to extract them from a Fire TV. It seems that there isn't nearly as much of an Android TV app deficit in the US any more so the UK apps that you list are the biggest ones still missing from the Android TV ecosystem, at least they are for UK users. The way in which Amazon considers itself to be in such a cut-throat competition with the rest of the Android world, I wouldn't be surprised if they've locked their TV apps down from use on any other Android devices, while they pretty much beg developers to bring their tablet apps over from the Play Store... I digress.
If somebody is willing to extract the apps you list and any of them actually work, this tool would be really useful.
So I was wondering if someone with a Razer Forge TV knows if its Cortex app store is just a normal app or a revamped OUYA app store with some weird OUYA framework that will allow it work. And in saying that if it is just a regular app I was wondering if it would run on the shield ATV. If any one can get the apk onto the shield to test I would love to know as it has some "OUYA" exclusive titles I would love to try on the shield.
I'm having a hard time confirming if it will, some sites say tablets only. I installed it from my browser as it appears the app is officially supported. I'm guessing there will be some Kodi options if not.
I doubt it will. It didn't have the option to stream during playoffs either.
Well, the latest update (feb 4th) seems to mention live streaming of superbowl and on cbs superbowl website they do mention AndroidTV as one of the devices for streaming the game live. I guess we'll see. I don't have any links in the app for live streaming - not sure if it will just appear or how it will work.
It will be live from the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick and is advertised heavily there with the CBS Sports app.
Yes, I know that the Amazon devices are not Google TV, but they do run customized Android and not tablets or phones, so they show promise for the Super Bowl to play live on the Nexus Player, although I am concerned that there are no ads promoting it.
There is absolutely no mention of superbowl inside the nexus player app. No link. Just the regular nfl and other sports video clips. I'm hoping it somehow incorporates a link at the time of the kickoff... but I have doubts.
I mean they do specifically mention AndroidTV on CBS's website... but there is no indication of it from inside the app itself.
The pregame show is live on the app! Yeeei So there's hope for the game as well. The link appeared at 2 pm ET inside the app.
The one I can download from the store on my phone to sideload onto my fire TV doesn't have the live streams of the 4 channels, only on demand content.
I realize this is the Shield forum but I'm not sure that a version with the live channels exists outside of the Shield (or roku).
Thanks!
