When I use the voice search to search for a movie that I know for a fact is on one of my installed apps, I am only shown results to buy the movie from Google play. The only exception is if I search for something that is on one of the major apps like Netflix or hulu. But it will not search apps like TBS or FXNow for movies. Is there a way to make it do this? Roku does this very well.

Anyone see the image of stuff pulled from the Logitech Revue. I just saw this and pulled a few APK's from the Logitech Revue File. Some are looking really exiting.
They have a NBA Gametime app just like Android Market, but it has video highlights and everything. looks really nice. Napster, Netflix, Twitter, CNBC and others.
I got NBA Gametime, Napster, Amazon, Twitter, CNBC to install. Netflix didn't. and they all are for a larger screen so off. but close. There also is a Youtube Search.apk that might look like the search bar in Google TV instead of whats on our phones. it would not install either. Does anyone know more about this? Just the beginning I'm sure
Logitech Revue Apps
Very nice.

Is anyone working on deodexing and extracting the interesting apps like Netflix?
The link in the article just goes to the forum rather than the thread, which is pretty dumb.
So here's the actual thread:

Thanks! I tried to find the thread but couldn't. I can't wait for some of the apps now!
Is there a way I can download YouTube videos on this tab? Whether it be through a site or an app?
The answer is yes! There are many apps on Google store that can do this just put a search in
I've went to the market and typed in YouTube and tried to find something and typed in download YouTube and didn't find anything
yesssssss! snappzmarket
yes there are many but i believe they were taken off go to http://m.snappzmarket.com/ and download its an alternative app store where you can get paid apps for free...
then search tubemate on snappzmarket might have to update it though should be good
allows you to pick quality for downloading and viewing its a nice app
link for the .apk if you dont want snappzmarket http://m.tubemate.net/

+1 for TubeMate
Not the most appealing UI , but works good. Fair trade off. Lets you pick from different qualities. Lets you log into your YouTube account and access your Favorites and other account stuff.
The UI looks better on the a500 tablet it does on my G-Nexus phone though.
I use it all the time to quickly load my tablet or phone with music videos, then use iMediaShare to beam across to my PS3 and 360 for viewing or copying to console HDD (PS3 only).
If I only want to view/copy YouTube vids on the PS3, then I just use iMediaShare and skip the TubeMate - to - droid device step.
Apparently they've added them in a update, anyone with a UK Sony tv able to pull and post them?
If you're saying that there's a BBC iPlayer app for Android TV that works with a remote, then I too hope that someone fills this request. It would be interesting to try it out on the Nexus Player.

Yeah BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sports were all on the Sony android tv I tried in John Lewis. Hopefully someone with one can figure it out and post them.
I'm looking for the same thing for the Australian Catch-up TV apps too.
My theory was to try and pull an update from the Sony support web site and extract the apps from there
(e.g. UK: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/KD-55X8505C)
I've only looked briefly, but it's not obvious what the file format is though.
From what I've read, the Sony TVs might use a MediaTek SoC (arm based) whereas the Nexus Player is x86, so I'm unsure if this will even work.
I can help extract from the update pkg, if only i could open the pkg file on my mac... any help here?

Hey, There are some 3rd party apps available for ABC, and SBS at this thread http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2447003
I would happily post this and any other UK apps that you guys want, however, I cannot seem to find the iplayer apk or any of the other catchup channel apks. The only one that I can find in relation to catchup services is the youview apk.
It's possible that the youview apk contains all the other catchup apks as the catchup services are integrated into youview.
The only way of using youview is setting it as the default tuner for the TV and it then takes over as the EPG and actual TV watching app.
It's also possible that installing the youview apk will also install the catchup services (iplayer, all4 etc...) and you could choose not to use youview as the main TV tuner but still get the other apps.
Hopefully this all makes sense.
I have looked in system apps and user apps during my search, if there is anywhere else to hunt these apks down in the file system then please point me to it.

This isn't to do with the Sony apps or the VouView app, but there is also a Nvidia Shield iPlayer apk specifically for Android TV that would probably be better to approach for getting iPlayer working on the Nexus Player.
This obviously doesn't fix the problem of 4OD and the other YouView apps, as they're probably not standalone apps, but at least it's one step closer, and would hopefully get iPlayer working at the very least. The iPlayer app consists of 2 parts, there's the main app which is just iPlayer, and there is an add-on app that adds BBC News & Sports, but it's required you have iPlayer installed to use them. And, of course. Because Nvidia made them, they're probably restricted to the Nvidia Shield, though I don't know as I haven't seen anyone else test them on the Nexus Player yet.
Here's a link to download the latest versions of both the iPlayer and Add-ons apks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63331976&postcount=34l=0
I know you can cast YouTube or Netflix to the NP. Is there anything else I can cast from an iOS device?
Any way I can cast my photos or even mirror my screen?
A lot of good Android apps have made it to iOS.
I'd try Localcast and Allcast for your movies and photos.
Other apps I like are haystacktv, Google play music (I prefer it to iTunes match, up to 35,000 songs stored for free). Pocket Casts. Rocket for chromecast, video & TV cast, Plex, infuse, videocast cardcast, Pandora, tunein, pbs
Another app for discovery of apps is appshopper social, just use their search function and type chromecast. It seems to return a lot more results than the app store search does.

Just bought my shield tv...love it! The latest spmc supports voice search which is great. The problem lies when using it. When I do a voice search for a movie (the big lebow$ki) first a youtube trailer pops up, then info on the cast, then coen brother movies, then jeff bridges movies, etc,etc finally at the very bottom is my copy in spmc. Can I turn off all that other crap so it just shows my copy of the movie? Or at least make spmc the top choice instead of the bottom? I have notifications off for the following apps google play games, google play movies, google play music, live channels, netflix, youtube. According to the app options all the previous mentioned apps say I need to enable them so I believe I have them shutoff. I even went through and changed each one and it change what showed under google voice search. Its the only flaw in a otherwise great media box. Thanx for the help
