I know the nexus player has usb, so the controller can be plugged in, however im not sure if it will work wirelessly or even at all for that matter. I am planning on buying a nexus player, and want to see if i can skip out on buying a controller for it.
Thanks

The PS3 controller can be used on most any other rooted android device if you use the Sixaxis Controller app from the Play store. This does require root, however, so we'll have to wait for root before verifying that the PS3 controller will indeed work on the NP. I am near certain it will since it works great on the Nexus 7 and 10.
Once we have root, we can verify support with this checker app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker
If it says yes, you'd purchase and install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
I doubt there'd be a leanback interface for the app before root comes, but it'd most likely work as is.
The Sixaxis Controller app for Android doesn't seem to work with Android 5.0 anymore.
I tried it with my Nexus 7 (2012) running rooted stock 5.0, using SuperSU 2.23, and it errors out.
Looks like it's gonna have to be updated for Lollipop, so it might be a no-go for the Nexus Player for a while.
The sixaxis controller app just got updated to support lollipop, so I'm gonna try it tonight and I'll report back.

I wasn't able to get my Nexus Player to pair my controller, but I ended up just using my Nexus 7 to pair it. It's a pain to get it to work, but it seems to be working great on mine too.

After pairing, what can you use your Nexus 7 as?
Oh. I just used my Nexus 7 to pair the controller with the Nexus Player. I didn't pair the Nexus 7 with the Nexus Player. I actually tried to do that, but I couldn't get the Nexus player to recognize the Nexus 7.
Grabbed a dualshock 4 ps4 controller today during BF sale. Paired with Nexus Player like a champ, haven't had time to check the touchpad functionality though but I am enjoying this controller for my gaming. I am going to try to pair both the DS3 and DS4 and see how they work together

To clarify, does the DS4 pair with the NP out of the box, or does it require root and an app? As dumb as this question sounds, my understanding is that the DS4 pairs with Bluetooth enabled PCs much more easily than the DS3 did, so I'm wondering if Android treats it any differently.

Truth be told I didn't even try it straight to the NP I used sixaxis right away. It works great. The new sixaxis app sometimes finds my DS3 as a fake controller other times it works fine but the DS4 always pops in fine. the touchpad is tweaky at best so i tend not to use it but this will be extremely handy once it is fixed properly.
Just tried it straight Bluetooth. The NP sees it as a Bluetooth controller but fails at pairing it. Tried multiple times but the NP just hangs. I really wish the Bluetooth stack in Android would finally support these devices (DS4, wiimotes, etc) properly...

I'm not sure that's a failing of Android. It's Nintendo/Sony using proprietary software with their hardware. Windows won't recognize them 100% without 3rd party software as well, as far as I remember.

The android bluetooth stack has gone through a few changes over the last couple of version which have wreaked havoc on third party accessories.

While this is correct, it doesn't change the fact that Nintendo and Sony use proprietary software with their hardware, thus negating whatever bluetooth stack is being used.
That said, prior to Android 4.3, the Bluetooth stack used on your Android device was up to the OEM, and it differed from device to device. With Android 4.3, Google told OEMs which BT stack to use. This is to help with compatibility and consistency.
I read in another thread that you cannot have both sixaxis (for PS3 / PS4 controller etc) and the remote working at the same time. Wonder if anything can be done about that?

The wii remote doesn't use "proprietary software" that negates the bluetooth stack. it connects to pc bluetooth stacks fine. in fact android can detect the wii remote it just won't pair with it. cyanogen had actually included support for wii remotes in CM11 as long as your kernel supports wiimotes (most kernels just a downported driver).
This article http://lwn.net/Articles/597293/
has some interesting info on the bluetooth stack change.

I am able to pair my DS4 with with my Droid Turbo running 4.4.4 w/ no 3rd party software. Although it could be possible that Motorola modified the BT stack to allow this? It also paired w/ my old OPO and N5 both running CM11s. It would not pair w/ the N5 running vanilla KK. It doesn't seem like it's too hard to include whatever it is to make the DS4 compatible with android but for some reason Google doesn't include it out of the box. My DS4 also pairs w/ my MS Surface 2 Pro on Windows 8.1 with no special drivers or software.

How did you get the Nexus 7 to pair your PS3 controller with the Nexus Player? Could you let us know how you pulled it off?
I've side-loaded the Sixaxis controller app onto my nexus player and can't get it to connect. It did once, but crashed instantly and deleted my NP remote from the 'remote & accessories' menu lol. Causing me to resort to a factory reset to get it back.
I can pair the controller with the N7, no problem, NP just doesn't want to work. Any guidance would be appreciated
I think you may have been able to use a phone/tablet with the android tv remote app to re-add the stock remote. Not sure but worth a try over a FR.

Open the Sixaxis app on the nexus player and start it, and it'll show the Mac address of the nexus player. If you open it on your nexus 7 and connect the controller with a USB OTG cable, and click pair inside the sixaxis app, it'll prompt you to enter the Mac address, and it'll have the nexus 7's Mac address by default. Change it to the Mac address displayed on the nexus player. Once that's done, disconnect it and click the PS button. It should connect to the nexus player instead. I got it to work well, but I had the same issue and my nexus player remote stopped working, so I haven't looked into it any further.

I believe you can use what they describe here under 'Method 1', essentially use an OTG cable to plug it in, then turn the controller on. I don't think you can unplug the controller from the USB cable though, you have to leave it in. http://www.pockethype.net/pair-ps3-controller-android-devices/
Personally I use a Wii U Pro controller with a wireless USB adapter, you might have luck with this PS3 to usb adapter using the 'xinput' setting from the same company: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Adapter-Mayflash-Personal-Computer/dp/B00DSFW5MA
I have not used this adapter for PS3 controllers but the one they make for the Wii U Pro controller works perfectly.
Awesome.. tx!! gotta order me a cable then and give it a shot.
when we get root ,the app sixaxis controller will work for bluetooth control
Sixaxis is broken in lollipop even with root.

Sixaxis Working with Dualshock3
Sixaxis, after latest update, perfectly working with my Dualshock3.
But as you know the app uses root access to change some bluetooth mode/characteristics the Remote won't be working until Sixaxis is disabled or Nexus Player is restarted.

Ah.. so you have to disable sixaxis every time after you have used the gamepad. That sucks. Is that just how it is or can it be fixed you think, to have them working simultaneously?

I believe the dualshock controllers use some non standard or proprietary Bluetooth protocols. So to work with them the sixaxis controller app needs to change the nexus player Bluetooth to that non standard mode. So I am afraid that they will ever work simultaneously.

I think this is true of DS3 but not DS4. I am able to pair my DS4 w/ my Surface Pro 2 (Win 8), Laptop (Win 7), my Nexus 5 (on CM 11s), my friends OPO (CM 11s again) and my Droid Turbo (unrooted KK) w/ nothing special required.

As stated before you will need to root your NP and install the Sixaxis app to pair your DS4 with it. The point I was making earlier is that while the DS3 does have a proprietary BT protocol the DS4 seems to use a different protocol that works out of the box with Windows and Cyanogenmod but doesnt work with vanilla Android. Until someone comes out with a custom rom or kernel that builds in support for it, you will have to use the Sixaxis app to use PS controllers.
Well for some reason my ds4 is now connecting to my NP natively but input lag is horrendous. When I try to go back to sixaxis it tells me max clients connected. Now i can't use my ds4.will try to restore the np and try again.

Alright so I took my NP to factory specs, relocked and hen started from scratch again unlocking and updating and rooting. Now my DS4 is connecting properly through sixaxis. If you want to use a DS4 do not try to sync it straight with bluetooth yet it will cause problems, until it is supported properly through kernels or updates to bluetooth it will have some nasty input lag and be unusable.
Tried on day one, no go in my part unfortunately.
got sixaxis working but now my nexus player remote is unpared and I cant find a way to repair it even after putting it in pairing mode and searching for bluetooth devices.. any ideas?

I was thinking it was stuck also. So before I wiped, I figured to try turning Bluetooth off/on from terminal. That seemed to do the trick! Both devices showed back up under Bluetooth.
I used commands:

No need to DO factory reset !
Use a usb mouse or keyboard ( connected to otg adapter to nexus player ) and goto sixaxis application and click on stop , this will enable blue-tooth service for your original nexus controller.

simple power cycle will enable the nexus remote if you Just disable the sixaxis auto start on boot with currently paired DS3 , In sixaxis preferences> general settings > auto start.
I think the the nexus player ON BOOT will start pairing process , if no remote is paired.
or
you could use the pair button on the underside ( this pairing will not work if six-axis driver is running)
:angel:
note : you can also pair any phone as remote for nexus player (but this Phone remote will only work for main launcher and apps , but not the in the games ).
Start the BT pairing from the phone (will find the nexus player in search BT devices )
this pairing will also keep the phone in unlocked state ( Trusted device feature ).

From my understanding the DualShock4 PS4 Controller will work with the Shield TV when using USB/OTG cable. Has anyone tried pairing over Bluetooth?
I think the PS4 pad is the most balanced gamepad for thew type of gaming I do(mostly emu/retro gaming and occasional Android native games)and before I order one Id really like to hear from anyone who uses different types of gamepads
Yes, it works with the regular USB cable.
The PS4 controller can connect wirelessly to any android device using the closed source paid app Sixaxis Controller available on Google Play. This works quite well. If you adjust the settings and default mapping it can work just like a native Android gamepad and start the service on boot. Having tried it on my 16 GB model there are two caviats. Firstly it overrides the Bluetooth hardware to simulate a PS4, so you can't simultaneously connect any normal Bluetooth devices (such as the Shield remote). Luckily the Shield gamepad uses WiFi-direct. Secondly, for some reason the D-pad is unavailable during the gameplay of some games. This is no good for playing Half-Life 2. Also the non-default mapping doesn't play well with GTA San Andreas. Despite these issues I'm still glad I bought the Dualshock 4 (I don't have a PS4) because it's the nicest physical gamepad I've used, and the two issues I've listed are only software problems. My LG G3 running CM 12.1 nightlies can connect to the Dualshock 4 without the app but doesn't map well. Another cool thing about the Sixaxis Controller is that you can use the touchpad as a mousepad. Great for sideloaded apps. Oh and you need root to use Sixaxis Controller.
Got it. I was aware of sixaxxis for other android tablets/phones Ive used but for some reason I thought I had seen a youtube video of someone simply pairing a PS4 gamepad using the native Bluetooth pairing process. I may have been looking at a video of another device, not the ShieldTV
My Sony TV with built in Android TV has drivers for a PS4 Controllers to used via bluetooth, is there anyway I can extract the files to be used with the Shield TV?
Did you root the shield tv in order to use the sixaxis? Or did you change the master address and then pair as normal on the shield tv?

I rooted in order to use the Sixaxis Controller app. I never managed to pair it to the Shield TV via normal bluetooth (like I can with my phone). And the master address needs to be changed either way.

yeah I rooted my shield TV last night and using the Sixaxis appto run my Dualshock4 controller. Worked like a charm.
does the siaxais controller ps4 work with the nvidia shield for multiplayer?
The Sixaxis Controller app claims to be able to handle multiple PlayStation controllers but I haven't tested this. I can confirm that it works multiplayer using a DS4 and Shield Controller (which uses WiFi direct, so isn't affected by Sixaxis Controller overriding the Bluetooth hardware). Interestingly the DS4 now pairs with the Shield TV (via Bluetooth, without Sixaxis or root) and maps correctly as of firmware v2.1. Unfortunately it misses button presses and it's impossible to turn off the DS4 without unplugging the Shield or unpairing it (and it took about 20 attempts to pair). Sixaxis still works well but require root and disconnects all other Bluetooth devices. I'm fairly sure that you can pair DS4 controllers with Sony Android TVs out of the box.
will it work via a cable connected usb without a need for an app?
i want a second controller not sure which one to get
anyone using this with bluetooth be aware: if you leave the sixaxis app running for too long with dualshock bluetooth enabled, it may eventually disable bluetooth on your device when trying to go back.
ive been through 2 different nexus players, as well as a shield tv and all have ended up disabling OS bluetooth, even when turning off the sixaxis bluetooth, resulting in requring either a factory reset or android terminal installed and typing in some commands to get it to work again. What causes the issue seems to be random, as sometimes i can leave the app running and come back and it still works, other times it doesnt though. you can still use the nvidia controller since it runs via wifi, but the remote and any other bluetooth devices wont work. this issue is a random event and doesnt always occur, but it IS there, and its a pain to get it working again.
Perhaps someone can find a compatible app to sideload to enable/disable bluetooth in case this happens? would be much easier than typing in terminal commands.

Yeah, I experienced the same issues in just my first time pairing a DS4 controller with the Sixaxis app... Also, like others mentioned on here, the default layout is a bit weird (Options=Select; Share=Back, etc) which means a lot of customizing in games, etc. Also, the service doesn't always auto-start that well so sometimes it takes some time to get it 'connected and ready to go' and I don't like how the app takes over Bluetooth while it's running. The only thing I did like is that the touchpad feature does work well (as long as the app supports 'Mouse input'), but overall I didn't think it's worth the hassle if I have to this every time I want to use the controller.
BTW, in case your Bluetooth becomes disabled while using this app, the command that worked for me (in adb shell) is:
Code:
su
service call bluetooth_manager 6
Has anyone successfully paired the shield with a DS4 without the sixaxis app? My shield can see the controller (listed as wireless controller) but they can't seem to pair.

Same thing happened to me although I only had the app for about 2 hours before it disabled BT. I couldn't get it to work while installed, and i am rooted. I don't believe it works in the newest firmware 3.0.
What did you use to write those commands? Would adb minimalist work? Same app used to root the shield?

Well, I used the Nvidia Shield TV Utility App to get into an adb shell, but Minimal should work just as well. Just make sure to run the 'adb shell' command before you run the commands I listed on my post above..

XBOX ONE CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK ON SHIELD TV as of now, the only place it works wireless is on a Windows 10 PC. 360 wireless works absolutely perfect with the exception of the flashing LEDS
is there a lot of battery drain with the flashing led
No more than usual I'd say. Remember that the led is usually constantly on... So not much difference

Hi. Anyone got experience with connecting a Shenwan 2.4ghz gamepad to a MX10 Android TV box with Oreo. It has no inbuilt Bluetooth and the controller has a 2.4ghz USB dongle.
I'm going through the same problem however the gamepad is an IPEGA 9076, the MX10 does not recognize the USB dongle.
Yeah think it's maybe hit and miss then. Although the Shenwan or whoever the hell makes them, didn't work on any device at all eg ps3. Got refund and need to bin them!
I tried another and it works on the mx10.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/192723335496
Having said that tho the games that support a pad are probably less than 10% of the ones I tried. So not great as a console but not really what the mx10 was designed for despite the marketing. If you want a cheap dongle controller I'd try the above tho and works for me on other devices. Good price and feels like a ps3 pad. Only thing missing is vibration function. Sounds wrong but there you go!
Would an update of the MX10 firmware solve this problem? I think the original Android Oreo of this tvbox is incompatible with gamepads.
